Thanks Dave. I'm attaching fstab. I am using only UUID since seeing this issue. 10 boots found my /Data on sda 6 times sdb 4 times.
In rc.local I have: # Spins down the sdb drive - to be quieter and save energy hdparm -y /dev/sdb That is now broken. I will write a script that finds /Data then spins down the other drive. Can I use udev rules to always have sda assigned to my 1TB drive? I'll explore it. Sidebar: fstab said Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' - that gives a list of 25 UUIDs with no partition locations. I prefer 'ls -l /dev/disk/by- uuid/' to see which UUID with which partition.
