/dev/sdX, as you observed, can be dynamic. Paths in /dev/disk/by-path/ are static and are just links pointing to a correct /dev/sdX device. If you set scsi_sn on your target, you will have shorter names in /dev/disk/by-id (no partitions though). And if you want to use fstab, you probably want to use device labels (-L option in tune2fs, mkswap, see "man fstab"). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
