Hi all,

It strikes me that, with the current explosion of nifty mass-storage 
systems which all use SCSI and / or SCSI emulation (SATA RAIDs, USB 
mass-storage devices etc.) one could end up with /dev/sd[a-z] all being 
occupied. Does anybody happen to know what the next device to be plugged 
in would be called?

Will.
