I had high expectation for the /dev/disk/by-path/ links, and, at first, they seemed to do what I wanted. The ports of the eight-port controller were designated pci-0000:03:03.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 through ...- scsi-7:0:0:0, and they matched the physical ports, which was great. However, after a reboot I discovered that they are now designated like this: pci-0000:03:03.0-scsi-0:0:0:0, then -scsi-1 and -scsi-2 were *missing*, then -scsi-3 through -scsi-9 were present, which absolutely doesn't make sense. :( I guess I'm stuck with UUIDs. Not a clean solution, but at least it's reliable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
