Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a software raid on three SATA disks with
autoyast, and it works like a charm, just great, except for
one little (but fatal for me:) detail:

no matter how I connect the drives to the board, I always get
RAID arrays setup with sda, sdc, sdb, i.e. a strange order,
as I was expecting the arrays to be built with a, b, c.

I.e., when connecting the drives I get:

Physical connection:
HD1 -> SATA-1 on the board
HD2 -> SATA-2
HD3 -> SATA-3

lsscsi shows:
/dev/sda
/dev/sdb
/dev/sdc

...whereas /proc/mdstat shows me sda, sdc, sdb.

Another try:

HD1 -> SATA-1 /dev/sda
HD2 -> SATA-3 /dev/sdb
HD3 -> SATA-2 /dev/sdc

...i.e. I swapped 2 and 3, I still get /proc/mdstat: sda, sdc, sdb.

I'm at a loss here, does anyone know how this works?

I need to know how to identify the disks in order for a hotswap
(swap disks) functionality to work properly.

Is there anyway I can influence the choices made by autoyast here?

Any thoughts appreciated
