[opensuse] HDD mount question

31 Jul 2010

      I have a question people might be able to help me with.

openSUSE 11.3

I have two USB 750 GB external HDD attached to a LINUX server.

At the moment, I have mounted

/dev/sdb1 as /data1
/dev/sdc1 as /data2

If I reboot, what are the chance the drives will line up again ?

How does LINUX "know" which USB port corresponds to what external HDD.

I had x2 SATA Internal HDD before, where there was no doubt about mounts.

It is important because I want data1 to mirror to data2.

Will I have to just plug in /dev/sdb1 first then mount, and then add 
/dev/sdc1 next just to keep the sequence ?
