I'm trying to upgrade my system from a pair of IDE drives to a single SATA drive, with the intention of removing the old drives when I'm done. I'd like to have the old drives on the system, until I've copied over everything I need. With the old drives plugged in, they always come up as sda & sdb, with the new drive sdc. Is there any way to force the new drive to be sda? I'm running 13.1.
tnx jk
Hi James.. nope.. the linux kernel device names are generally assigned based on the "order of discovery", for all practical purposes, you have to consider them unpredictable. (this is why udev now renames network interfaces at boot with a predictable name) What "order of discovery" means is "implementation defined" :-), it might change across kernel versions or even depending on the kernel configuration. It is recommended you mount the partitions by UUID. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
