      Yeah, that’s what I think as well…

      Got a few old rigs with IDE drives in them running Void x86, the drives in /dev are named sdx.

        No, they decided that nvme were too fancy to be modeled by mundane ‘sdxn’ scheme. They hypothetically have ‘namespaces’ and ‘controller paths’ and they wanted to have the naming scheme model that fully.
