The root device is on the volume provided by the raid controller, which is accessible under /dev/da#, like the built-in scsi.
I like to add a scsi drive on the built-in scsi to use for storing "worthless" data such as /usr/src, /usr/ports and /usr/obj, so it's fast and doesn't hog the production volume.
My problem is that when I add a drive to the built-in controller, it gets mapped to /dev/da0, pushing the SmartArray's volume to /dev/da1 !!!
I need this server to be able to survive a disk failure, IMHO, should include the ability to reboot properly. However, with such a setup, the failure of any non-raid disk would prevent the os from booting (wrong fstab), which somehow defeats the purpose of having raid in the first place. This is a dns and mail server, so it MUST be able to come up again, whatever the reason of the shutdown.
Is there a way to force the order the da driver maps drive?
thanks in advance
Raphael
