 |
|
I'm installing to a new laptop, and I don't have a /dev/sda (or any /dev/sd) visioble in the liveCD environment.
I have:
| Code: | livecd ~ # /dev/
block/ char/ fd/ lightnvm/ net/ snd/
bsg/ cpu/ gpmctl mapper/ pts/ v4l/
bus/ disk/ input/ mqueue/ shm/ |
and that's it.
Which one is my hard drive?

There should be more than that in /dev. Out of curiosity, what's in /dev/disk/by-id/ ?

Edit: I'm an idiot, tab-completion *does not* show most of the contents of /dev/ for some reason I thought it did. It shows full contents of ordinary folders.

hmm. I wonder if this is simply a bash tab fail... your disks clearly show up in by-id.
how about "ls -l /dev/sd* && ls -l /dev/hd* && ls -l nvme*" ?
edit: or "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" to fetch the /dev node for the disk you're looking for.

Yes, it's a bash-tab fail.
I tried a proper "ls /dev" and everything showed up.
bash-tab also failed to show the contents of /dev/disk/by-id. |

You tried to complete as a command, so only directories (which might contain commands) and runnable commands are shown. Make one of your disks executable and try again.  More seriously, if you had tab-completed an ls, it would have done what you wanted. |
