Comment 1 for bug 157019

Triaged to Confirmed. I have to agree with reporter that disk naming scheme is confusing to a new user. However, multiple OS installs is not a beginner topic, so some understanding of disk naming is presumed. When a new user attempts to install several OS's and doesn't understand the different naming schemes--that's trouble. Each disk naming scheme has a history that is too long to present here. Because a Linux installation is the combination of several discrete parts, these naming schemes come together during installation. Installation is not something you have to do often (if you are fortunate) but it does require some level of understanding of disk/device naming. Perhaps ubiquity can present a pop-up: "About disk naming" This would provide a quick summary of how the same disk drive/partition can be addressed in different ways.
