Hi all,
Last week i needed some temporary storage, so i dug up my old scsi-box, and made one soft-raid5 with six 150G disk and another soft-raid5 with 300GB disk. So far so good.
Today i got hold of another 300GB disk, and wanted to put it in the last empty slot. Here my stroubles started, Some of the disked moved (with resspect with their name) up.
I remembered that this problem not only exist with scsi, but more recently also with usb.
Yep, because USB disks are emulated as SCSI.
Googling i found out that it is supposed to be solved by using disk-labels instead of the disk-device-name. This might very well work when mounting disks individualy, but i failed to see how a softraid can be told to use labels.
You're talking about how to refer to the drives when you create the arrays with mdadm? Once they're created, the drive-letters assigned to the individual drives should not matter, AFAIK. Regardless, another way of referring to drive is with /dev/disk/by-path/ /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
