[opensuse] Changing disk IDs!!
I just upgraded a socket 939 MB to an Athelon 5000 socket AM2 so I can use AMD-V, but, for some strange reason, the HD device IDs seem to have changed (same 250GB SATA HD - the original root partition is not found). The disk shows fine in Repair System Partition Manager, .. and the IDs look similar, but I cannot figure out a way to compare them to the entries in fstab.
When booting the Repair System, all partitions show mounted on / and cannot be unmounted; When dropping to shell after RS, the partitions are still mounted; While IN RS, there is no way to launch a terminal session to edit the entries in fstab.
I am hesitant to try any of the automatied repair options, .. can anyone suggest a way to both edit the original /etc/fstab entries while seeing the 'new' device IDs in the Partition Manager? Has anyone seen a problem like this? TIA, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Can you not go back to the "old" way i.e. /dev/sdaX or /dev/hdaY/ -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't understand why not. Just display the old entries and the actual, current IDs, and compare them letter by letter. Write or print them in a paper, cross each letter... I don't see the problem.

Just edit fstab in an editor, and display the IDs by any method you choose. For example: ls /dev/disk/by-id/ or ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ You can just as easily copy paste the names to the editor... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Huh? There is no way TO display the current IDs, much less compare them.

ls /dev/disk/by-id/
Huh again? by-id does not display the disk IDs by manufacturer, .. that was the original question. Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No?
Just edit fstab in an editor, and display the IDs by any method you choose. For example:
ls /dev/disk/by-id/

No? Have you tried? It does display the IDs that are used in fstab, as shown in Randall's email, and that's what you need. You will have to explain better your question to convince us that you need something else. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
