So... Why, for crying out loud, can't SATA 1 be sda to SATA 4 be SDD as it was in the good old times?
no...
And which physical disk is the failing one?
If you look at "/dev/disk/by-id/" you see that one of the identifications include the serial number of the disk:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 30 11:48 ata-ST31000528AS_9VXXXXX -> ../../sdd
The command "hdparm -i /dev/sdd" also prints the serial number: Telcontar:~ # hdparm -i /dev/sdd /dev/sdd: Model=ST31000528AS, FwRev=CC46, SerialNo=9VXXXXX Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% } ... You should have the serial number printed in the disk paper label. Whether you can read it without removal of the unit, that's another thing. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
