FreeBSD RELENG_7 scsi and usb, usb disks take precedence
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'm writing this, in hope that someone has a quick-and-dirty trick to solve a minor problem I have. My home server, running RELENG_7 is booting off a 10Krpm scsi drive, connected to an adaptec controller. This device is /dev/da0. However, should I accidentally reboot the server with ANY usb block device, FreeBSD assumes that the USB controller is the first scsi chain in the computer, and assigns the lower da numbers to the usb block devices, placing the actual scsi disk as the last da device. Is there any way to tell FreeBSD permanently I want my adaptec controller's scsi chain to be the first, no matter what USB devices you find? If this is documented somewhere, feel free to point me to the correct man page.

Using GEOM labels ensure that fstab will always be consistent, so *this is* a solution. Now, you can try to patch the kernel to make it probe devices in a predefined sorted order, but I guess it will be much more difficult ;) No patching needed. You can wire down the unit number of your scsi bus and drive with boot hints as described in the scsi(4) manpage. Wire the adaptec card down as scbus0, and wire the device at scbus0.0 down as da0. Thank you. :) //Svein -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkj3hWsACgkQtVbTV+BEzaOsfgCfWYOjk23XVQhESghcBb6IGuNH xkIAnRSpdXWZ9yLxQMiFlV++8cAsmTgT =Qkdr -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
