Block devices sda, sdb, sdc. What comes after sdz?

Question

My block devices are named sda, sdb and so on.

What happens when I get to sdz? Is the next one going to be called sdaa?

Answer 1

Yes. The kernel will continue to assign names in the form of sdaa, sdab and so on. There may be a bug preventing it from going beyond sdzzz, but in theory, it's going to continue forever (that is up to 18278 due to data type limitations).
