hi all,
Can anyone give me a clue where the naming of disk devices is defined? For network interfaces you have: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Is there an equivalent for sata-drives?
Not that I am aware of.
On my file server, i had five drives, the original sda (where i boot from and contained the 11.3) and four others in softread-10.
Unfortunately, two weeks ago, my sda "expired", so i bought a new one. As a precaution i disconnected the all data-drives during the installation of 12.2. After completion, i powered down the machine, connected the data drives, powered up and after a "vgchange -ay" the secondary volumegroup was detected and i could manually mount all LV's again, and i started recovering.
Alas, after last nights reboot, the disks holding the OS now appears as "SDE" instead of "SDA", and my secondary volume-group remains invisible.
I guess your secondary VG uses /dev/sda? No the other way round, The primary vg uses sda2 (/boot is using sda1) sdb, sdc, sdd and sde are glued together with soft-raid10 And ontop of that i made my secondary VG
I had the impression that suse was doing the mount by UUID by default. but obviously i'm mistaken?
Check your fstab.
For any suggestions i'm more than welcome:
It sounds it is really in LVM you have a problem? That your PV that used to be /dev/sda is now called /dev/sde.
Strangest thing however is, after i replaced the malfunctioning system disk (sda) with an other, the system booted and named that as sda. And i was still able to use sdb|c|d|e. When i boot now, my systemdisk has become sdE, ad the data-disk became sd-A|B|C|D. afaicr, the raid-description lays in the first area of the disks themselves, and i'll guess the renaming of the disks is causing md not recognizing what belongs to which disk.
