Traditionally, how are PATA drives identified in the Linux environment?
They are shown in the file structure as /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, and so on. /dev/hda would be the master on one controller, and /dev/hdb would be the slave on another controller.
For example, if you were to have two master drives, attached to two separate controllers, the numbering scheme would have a gap ending in /dev/hda and /dev/hdc.
