I did not post this in hardware, because I think it's a software issue.
I list disk drives:
I have three hard drives on this desktop. So what is "/dev/sdd"?
The timestamp for the first three drives is when I last booted. The time stamp shown for "/dev/sdd" was the time when I used that command.
I cannot access that ghost disk:
Maybe it is referring to the SATA port. But that should already be connected to the DVD reader:
And it is not just this computer. If I try on my laptop, with only one hard drive:
Again, the timestamp for the actual drive (/dev/sda) is when that computer was last booted. And the timestamp for the ghost drive is the time of the "ls" command.
I list disk drives:
Code:
# ls -l /dev/sd?
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 2 22:22 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Apr 2 22:22 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Apr 2 22:22 /dev/sdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 48 Apr 3 11:53 /dev/sddThe timestamp for the first three drives is when I last booted. The time stamp shown for "/dev/sdd" was the time when I used that command.
I cannot access that ghost disk:
