Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When I want to monitor disk throughput with ksysguard, it lists a lot of options which look like [number]:[number], which I can fold open en drag sensor applets from. Those names should be more helpful.. I later found out (some of) those numbers correspond to what I get when running the following command: Sat 15 15:15 ~ $ ls -la /dev/sd* [1] brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sda1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sda3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sda4 brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 16 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sdb brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 17 2007-12-13 16:36 /dev/sdb1 brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 32 2007-12-15 14:36 /dev/sdc brw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 8, 33 2007-12-15 14:36 /dev/sdc1 So they could at least be named sda*/sdb*. Better even would be using the partition labels or mount names.
Fixed in kde4. Thanks for the report though.
Greg, The names are sda1_(1:1) for example. I think we can just drop the major and minor numbers - nobody will ever care, and if they really do care they can just look them up - it's standard.
