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.
Certainly not. Which is why you must not use device names such as sda, sdb, etc, for your work. Use the appropriate link from /dev/disk/by-*/ instead. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
