Package: grub-common Version: 1.98+20100706-1 Hello,
my device.map's device order changed since grub uses uuid device-names.
Before uuid device-names it was:
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc
(hd3) /dev/sdd
(hd4) /dev/sde
(hd5) /dev/sdf
This was actually even correct.
Now it is:
$ while read hd id; do echo "$hd\t$(realpath $id)"; done <
/boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/sde
(hd1) /dev/sdd
(hd2) /dev/sdc
(hd3) /dev/sdf
(hd4) /dev/sda
(hd5) /dev/sdb
This is completely off the mark. It seems like grub-mkdevicemap just
sorts the /dev/disk/by-id/* names alphabetically - which was good before
but, of course, is not anymore.
Just for the records: my EDD device order is:
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/edd-* | sed -e 's%^.*/dev%/dev%'
/dev/disk/by-id/edd-int13_dev80 -> ../../sda
/dev/disk/by-id/edd-int13_dev81 -> ../../sdb
The other devices have no Volume ID (in fact, they have a zeroed MBR)
and thus cannot be assigned to EDD devices.
regards
Mario
