I've long complained about the stupidity of forcing all devices to be 'floating' and dynamic (or defaulting to floating and dynamic) and this illustrates why. Question is, is this a SuSE only bug, or is this the whole concept of dynamic device management (it bites me on network setups as well, though there seem to be ways to work around it there and force a specific device to stay 'eth0', or 'eth1'... but that doesn't happen by default either and is only a problem if you have multiple ethernet cards and want to make sure your routing and firewall settings protect and route to the correct device.
That's something I've complained about also. Some BIOS's will insert a USB drive as the first drive and that makes things a pain. The disk by label stuff seems to have helped, but I wish it would prompt me to continue if it can't find something in fstab instead of dropping into problem mode. I think I should choose to say continue if I pulled a drive for some reason thats non-root and non-system and just mounted elsewhere. It was a real pain with SuSE 9.x when I had SCSI, SATA, and USB Drives. Making everything an sdx is very irriatating. Even IDE is now an sdx on most systems(not on older ppc macs tho). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
