sda2 will always be sda2 until you make a change in the bios.
Never say "never", and never say "always". Most times you do you can be proven wrong.
It is the first device on your sata chain.
Where the chain starts can depend on the installed hardware, which can change when external devices are added or removed.
irrelevent. My ceiling fans aren't controlled and numbered by my bios either. My bios isn't going to assing it /dev/sda (although udev might do that. udev can do anything) If someone complains that their temporary hard drives are not always the same name, good! It everything is as expected then. dmesg it and mount it by hand. Ruben
The BIOS may or may not be capable of ordering such that external devices will not change the order. Maybe you have hardware that makes sda stay sda. I have hardware with BIOS that doesn't and can't. To keep sda sda here on those installations requires effort be put into the OS start procedure to work around the BIOS shortcoming. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
