Hi Alan,

Nice to see your response to the reopened PR.

1)
'mount /dev/uda<TAB>' : I think you are missing the point about USB disk
attachments. As I said earlier, there usually there will usually be only one of
those (I never had to attach 2 pen drives simultaneously). So there will
usually be only a /dev/uda in the ud* - or else nothing in the ud* series.

So you can start tabbing at 'd' : mount /dev/ud<TAB>.

So that definitely provides the adavantage of 1 character less to type at a
time when you want to type less.

2)
'it would be one more thing to remember, so worse in that respect'. Sir, my
humble intuition is this would be an advantage. So many changes (eth0 ->
enp9s0) happen with no real benefit to the end user. This one has an advantage:
one character less to type, plus the comfort of the knowledge that USB have
their own series. People will welcome this change, if it were permitted to
happen.

3)
'it would mean changing all the existing shell scripts and /etc/fstab files
that already use the /dev/sdb* names' :

find . -type f -name '*.sh' -exec sed 's/sdb/uda/g' {} \;;

Thanks again for your response.
Manish Jain
