I have a SCSI card set up with 2 drives in a raid array. I also have various USB devices (a UDB HDD, a USB CF / SD card reader).
My raidtab has /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as the SCSI devices since this is what they normally come up as. However, if I have the USB card reader plugged in on boot (for instance) it gets /dev/sda and my SCSI drives get /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc, causing RAID startup to fail and kicking me out to a maintenance prompt. This makes rebooting while I'm not at the console bring my machine basically down until I can get back to it. This is very annoying, even when I am at the console. How can I specify that my SCSI drives get recognized first? Or, how can I force them to be sda and sdb? -- Justin Patrin -- [email protected] mailing list
