Probably. But it may not be worth it. Why does it matter to you? Not saying that it doesn't matter, just trying to understand why. Getting it to be /dev/sda during install, for instance, wouldn't guarantee that it would be that when you booted the installed kernel. There's a seminal paper by Matt Domsch of Dell, about Linux device naming at http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps1q07-20060392-Domsch.pdf That might give some insight. It's several years old, but pretty much still valid, although UUIDs seem to be displacing labels for identifying partitions for mounting. I still use labels. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
