Why does Linux label /dev/sda to MSDOS?

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

That means the partition table itself is from the "MSDOS" type and not
Apple, Amiga or something similar.

Kind regards

Why isn't there a Linux or Unix type?

Linux "names" devices. It doesn't "label" them.

First PATA drive = /dev/hda

First SATA drive = /dev/sda

It does not look at volumes when naming the device.

The volumes get enumerated

hda1
hda2
sda1
sda2
etc.

Look here for tips about how Linux "sees" and "attaches to" hard drives
and their volumes.

Yes, but was it you that labeled them?
