Hello burns from Lourens:
The output of dmesg might assist you.
First, the drives are listed in the normal fashion and then some useful
info about each drive and the partitions on each drive.
Would you be able to figure the disks out from this ??
hda: WDC WD64AA, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC WD200EB-00BHF0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: CDU5211, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: Conner Peripherals 1080MB - CFS1081A, ATA DISK drive
hde: IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI, ATAPI FLOPPY drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ide2 at 0x9800-0x9807,0x9402 on irq 10
hda: 12594960 sectors (6449 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=784/255/63,
(U)DMA
hdb: 39102336 sectors (20020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=2434/255/63
, UDMA(100)
hdd: 2114180 sectors (1082 MB), CHS=2097/16/63, DMA

" Well here's a fine kettle of fish, Ollie.
"
" I have installed Suse 7.2 Pro over the weekend and have had to
" reshuffle
" harddrives a couple of times to accomodate both Windows and the
" appealing but
" largish Suse install... this is (still) a dual boot system.
"
" Disk 3 was reformatted to EXT2 and not all are being picked up by the
" system
" (I don't think 2 & 3 are). I can edit the fstab file, but how do I know
" which
" drive is actually now which device, when the devices listed are not
" updating,
" not all of them are being listed and the fstab listing no longer
" matches the
" current reality?
"
" Here are the facts:
"
" System Details:
" - ABit BP6 Mainboard
" - Dual Celeron CPUs
" - 512 MB SDRAM
" - Creative Nvidia TNT2 Ultra graphics card
" - Soundblaster Live Value sound card
" - Disk 1, Master on primary EIDE, 9Gb Fat32 Primary for Windows, 10Gb
" for
" Linux with default Suse install partions (boot, swap & /)
" - CDROM, Acer 50x ATAPI = slave on primary EIDE
" - Disk 2, Master on secondary EIDE, 13.2Gb EXT2 for Linux storage
" - Disk 3, Slave on secondary EIDE, 4Gb fat32 Primary for Windows
" storage
" - Disk 4, Master on first ATA66 UDMA channel, 13Gb fat32 split into
" approximately two logical 6Gb drives/partitions.
"
" Following is result of df:
" burns@burns:~ > df -h
" Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
" /dev/hda7 10G 2.9G 7.0G 29% /
" /dev/hda5 23M 2.5M 19M 12% /boot
" shmfs 942M 0 941M 0% /dev/shm
"
" Following is fstab file:
" root@burns:/ > cat etc/fstab
" /dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1
" /dev/hda5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
" /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
" devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
" /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
" proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
" /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0
" /dev/hdd1 /windows/D vfat noauto,user 0 0
" /dev/hdf1 /windows/E vfat noauto,user 0 0
" /dev/hdf5 /windows/F vfat noauto,user 0 0
" /dev/hda6 swap swap pri=42 0 0
"
" I have another question, but I'll post it as a separate thread.
