Hi
 
my daily-use machine runs openSuse. To experiment with LFS I added a second SATA HDD.
 
Initially the Suse  drive was /dev/sda, the new, unpartitioned, drive /dev/sdb.
 
But I rebooted once more. Now Suse has swapped the names, so what used to be /dev/sda is now /dev/sdb and vice-versa. If I reboot again, the names sometimes swap back, sometimes do not.
 
Section 2.4, Creating a New Partition, doesn't allow for this situation - it assumes the drive names are persistent.
 
Has anyone else encountered this situation, and found a way around it?
 
Cheers
Ted
