I missed that, probably because i & j look similar in the big sea of alphanumerics, /and/ sdi has no partitions, while sdj1 has no parent disk. That seems to smell as much like a bug somewhere as two different disks with the same serial number, a cheap SATA port card maybe. Does ...1146 get duplication like that when connected to any/every available SATA port? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
