The D: is a CD-ROM. Geez!
Dang whippersnappers.
Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998
omfg
If it makes you feel any better the intern got hired full-time.
And laid off 6 months later
No, CD-ROM is
/dev/sr0Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!
(I’m over there too)
Only correct answer, I don’t know what this whole letter business is… Dang kids
No, CD-ROM is
/cdromYou probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.
Debian is weird
Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn’t include sound drivers… fun times!
I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it’s been nice.

Thats the dvd rom
I give you an A. A for floppy.
What about the B drive?
5 1/4 big booty drive
Lol the best part about that is, it spawned from floppy disks. It hasn’t changed. And there’s no official docs on why. Instead search results are literally StackOverflow and forum questions on why it’s not a thing.
Even better, the cable twist to differentiate on the hardware level.
CDs nuts
Omg… it depends on your input port grandpa! Please take your pills your saying that stuff again!
I like my partners like I like my filesystems.
FAT and 32.
Well, I’m glad its 32, and not the ones previous
I like em like I like my encryption. Old and already cracked.
I like them like I like my passwords. Short and insecure.
Your taste in partners is as bad as your taste in filesystems. Who uses FAT32 in 2023? At least use NTFS
Who uses FAT32 in 2023?
Any EFI partition?
Why would anybody use NTFS? btrfs ftw. Also all EFI partitions are FAT. And lastly, if you want a USB stick to be portable across operating systems, FAT is still the way to go
I don’t want it portable, I want windows users to lose. I use ext4 on all my usb drives
Btrfs with compression can substantially “increase” capacity of your USB stick. IIRC I managed to fit 20-30% more data on 64Gb stick than its maximum capacity!
Everything uses FAT32. ATMs, the fare machine on transit systems, the sorting system at your post office, traffic lights, nuclear power control systems. Literally everything that isn’t a Unix, MacOS, or a Windows machine uses FAT32. All that stuff has worked for decades and will probably keep working for decades more.
Like your mom.
My time to shine.
I prefer them to be exFAT.
Old and simple but chance for data loss?
Hmm, that’s better fo sho, tho a bit of extra fat don’t hurt
She wants the /dev/sdb
/dev/nvme1n1p1
Please teach me how to connect an external drive over NVMe
- Open PC (if not open already)
- Plug in
- Profit
Everything can be portable if the PC is open enough
that’s an NVMe to USB adapter
No that’s a Google search. Which mainly displays external name cases which expose name over usb/thunderbolt. Which in case of usb4 is exactly the same way an internal nvme works, via pcie.
/dev/mmcblk0
micky mouse club block zero
Why do you have a second namespace on your external drive?
So that it doesn’t get lonely.
This is correct. 🐧
My mind immediately went to ext as in ext4 the filesystem
Then u realized why ur still a virgin?
You misspelled Giga-Chad
I’m not because I use btrfs 😎
Yes you are a turbo virgin.
This thread is fucking hilarious, I can relate to all of it 💀
no I am not, I speak fluent Klingon
I wanna see how deep this hole goes.
So virgin that you even deduplicate
As a btrfs user myself…
Yeah that’s a fair cop.
To be honest, can relate too.
But who needs a family tree when you can have b-trees instead!
There’s only one D I recognize.
o7
Ncc1701 no bloody, c, no bloody d, and no bloody e
A gets a pass though. All the style of the original with better looking nacelles.

clearly ask for an EXT formatted drive
get an NTFS formatted drive
Wtf.
ExtFAT
Specifically, she wants to mount the D:.
And then you ask for the C: and they block you on tinder.
My aunts friends are so angry sometimes.
I don’t know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive. Why do you insist on having EXT?
Because ext supports proper access rights from actual operating systems.
I GNU you were gonna say that, sick burn dude
Akshually
NTFS is also posix compatible. If - for some unimaginable reason - you want to use an NTFS drive with linux only, you can set permissions, but it will break Windows compatibility. More info here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition#74851
Of course windows does not properly support the one disk format they use. I did even use NTFS for a while cause the ntfs-3g driver has an option to force lowercase. Now I have upgraded to EXT4 with case folding.
I can’t be certain they mean the filesystem or if she’s asking for the external drive, which for many people is the D drive. Also that it can be passed around implies it’s external too. Cause who only has one drive formatted as ext?
I don’t know what is wrong with my NTFS harddrive.
Having a NTFS partition is what’s wrong with your hard drive.
Can confirm, my NTFS hardrive broke every week on my server. Unfortunately that is my only hard drive so I cannot format it without loosing all the data.
What specifically do you mean by “broke”? File system corruption?
Yes, I have to use NTFSfix or plug it into a windows laptop, it is very annoying.
But my setup is fairly janky though. I use a external drive on my homeserver as storage drive, and because of torrenting it is almost constantly on read/write. And I use a ubuntu LTS server, so it might not be the most friendly os to use with a NTFS drive. But there is no going back now.
Are you using the NTFS3 kernel module instead of the FUSE driver?
I am not really knowledgeable about OS and kernel, I just use the default for ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I went to the comments to ask if she meant ext3 or ext4 but after a moment I figured it was just external abbreviation… Made a lot more sense 😅
nah, D: is obviously your secondary internal drive for storage, because C: is an ssd for performance
she actually wants the E: 🏳️⚧️
She wants my CD-ROM?
She wants the scared and amazed face? I don’t get it.
Dick. the Dick. D: is usually where the external hard drive is mounted when you only have a single drive, which is usually C.
And you normally put your dick in the external hard drive?
One ejaculation holds around 16 GB of data, so technically…
You don’t?
Back in my day D was where your CD-ROM drive was mounted. Ya young whipasnappa.
And A: and B: were your floppy drives!
She wants the sdcard and amazon fare? I dont get it.
She wants the D: but he’s just got a 3.5 inch floppy.
This is the real joke
low tier windows users : the D
chad linux enjoyer : Basic Data Partition
If it got BTRFS, then one can simply say “pass me the butter”
This is not innuendo, I literally just want that data storage device, butterface.
She wants the /dev/sdb
Nope, she meant the ext4 drive mounted to
/mnt/homeworkEdit: spelling
