But by-id paths look non-sensical with iSCSI. For instance, they could be /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1494554000000000000000000030000005f4100000d000000 where the by-path name is very descriptive: /dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.0.0.120:3260-iscsi-iqn.2009-09.org.sikkerhed:sikkerhedorg-swap-lun-10 In fact, how is it even possible to determine what disk you need when using by-id paths? I don't know one. -- Med venlig hilsen Christian Iversen _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
