Disk order is undefined since years. Using sdX as device name is bad. See bug 429019.
Thats how it is when you always do a dist-upgrade for years.
In any case there's 'hwinfo --map' that AFAIU has been used in the past to track device name changes.
Shouldn't "hwinfo --map" output by-id devices instead of mapping from one undefined to another undefined ?? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You mean you can't teach an old dog new tricks? ;-) by-id names don't change, so no point in mapping them. The --map option was specifically added to track hdX/sdX name changes. BTW, you can boot with linuxrc.debug=-udev.mods to get the old behavior back, but that's of course only a band-aid. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Same old story, we need to collect the mapping from the running system, and use that information for the update, or require a manual device re-mapping by the user. There is no way to keep any kernel device name in any configuration file, like sdX in fstab, on the updated system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(Also keep in mind that there are systems where no device ids exist, e.g. in VMware.) Don't know how we can support update of such systems. But if hwinfo reports that sda was previously sdb and sdb was previously also sdb there's nothing storage can do.

You can always plug in another disk with the same name. You have to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/ or /dev/disk/by-id/. UUID's are what other distros are using in fstab, but ID's are needed for special requirements like multipath and such, where you have the same metadata across devices. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
