Again you glossed over or failed to recognize an important implicit point. I didn't write anything about *when* external devices were added or removed. Here when an external HD is added and powered up while the PC is powered down, and then powering up the PC, my BIOS (actually most, maybe all, of the many BIOS I have) will find the external device first, and assign it sda instead of an internal device. That makes your assertion of irrelevance incorrect WRT any BIOS that behaves like mine instead of like yours.
He probably expects us to edit fstab everytime we connect a disk on eSATA. Maybe he never connects/disconnects disk, because it is such a pain to have to edit fstab to conform. Better not boot, no disks changes. Whell, I do disk changes, hotplug, and I don't have to edit anything in bios, fstab, or grub. It simply works as designed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
