If you are doing raid, once the partitions are set up you will only see /dev/md? device names except in madam commands or when looking at /proc/mdstat. And you can move the drives around later so the actual device names would be different without affecting the md assemblies. I think you are being a little picky.... You could always move the controller cables around, but I'm not sure there is any guarantee that the drives will be detected in the same order every time. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am just worried that it would affect some programming or scripting, but if that is not the case then it will be fine....I hope. I looked into the guts of etc and boot and grub...they proper drives are placed hd0 hd1 , etc... Those things look good. It just seems changing that lettering would be scary, guess linux uses them as kind of a virtual naming convention while keeping the underlying info the same (hd0, etc..). well, nothing I can do to change it I guess, so I will move on. Thanks for the help all. Definitely an interesting thing to look at tonight. bob _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
