Well, ideally you don't have any kind of order: /dev/bus/scsi/0/1 would be the device with id 0, partition 1. This is what devfs does. If my current system uses SCSI id's 5-9, and I add a drive with id 2, nothing bad happens in this case. This isn't a super big deal: disk additions are not that common now. It becomes a big deal later when we have stuff like Firewire drives. M
