rdisk0 or disk0?
Authored by: masthugget on Mar 08, '05 01:37:45PM
I can see people are both talking about rdisknn and disknn as identifier for the faulty disk. In the disk utility it says (for me) disk0, but under /dev/ I find both rdisk0 and disk0. What's the difference, which one should be used?

rdiskxx is the raw device and diskxx refers to the same device as a block device. I believe you can use either. I prefer using rdisk from a forensic standpoint.
