That is what I would expect. Are you saying that there is no way to tell which disk is which one from the device names? If that is true, how does the user, how does the system know which disk is which one? As user, I can eventually tell with fdisk -l and looking at the info --- *if* the disks are all different. But how does the system figure out if the device refered to in /etc/fstab is actually the device that should be refered to? It seems I need to read up on this. Is there a good document that explains it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
