How to get correct block devices for multi-partition GPT-formatted disk?
by jamminv from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54DQD)
The disk /dev/dsk/c5t2d0 has 12 partitions as I can check in parted.
And there are 5 /dev/dsk/c5t2d0p* devices (c5t2d0p[0-4])
And there are 15 slice devices /dev/dsk/c5t2d0s* devices (c5t2d0s0 to c5t2d0s15)
How can I easily get a correct device for any of 12 partitions?
In Linux, I just get 12 partitions mapped to 12 human-understandable paths like /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA*-part1 to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA*-part12
