That would be much better. I'm probably going to run into trouble once I get the cable to connect my SCSI disks since there is no way to tell in which order disks will be detected :( What do you do with entries like this in /dev/disk/by-uuid/: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-11-25 10:13 3c8489c2-b7c8-413c-aa3d-5940a7e9ec00 -> ../../md0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-11-25 10:13 450494c6-3adc-4180-8365-60b6bfe57ca3 -> ../../hda8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-11-25 10:13 562ca497-de85-4724-ae7d-9896ba42d753 -> ../../md1 Put the long number into /etc/fstab instead of /dev/md1? And what happens when a disk is repartitioned? And why don't all of the disks show up? md1 is made from partitions on two SATA disks, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2, but neither the disks (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb), nor their partitions (three on each) show up. Once I connect the SCSI disks, there will be three more /dev/sdX--- are they going to show up? How do I prevent the system from messing up the disks? -- "Don't let them, daddy.
