I'm reading blessed-names.txt and I'm curious.

Why ._disk1 ... ._diskN instead of things like:

	._c1t0d0s3	(Solaris uses cNtNdNsN style partition names)
	._vg01_lvol3	(HP-UX uses /dev/vgN/lvolN style partition names)
	._hd9		(AIX uses /dev/hdN style names)
	._da0s1e	(FreeBSD uses /dev/daNsNX style names)
