Message-ID: <20030730155345.GK786@rdlg.net> Mail-Followup-To: Linux-Kernel Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="Ah9ph+G2cWRpKogL" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org --Ah9ph+G2cWRpKogL Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have a system with 4 SCA drives. Originally they were: /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/sdb -> scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc /dev/sdc -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/sdd -> scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/disc SDA drive was hot-pulled to test the raid failover and it worked great. Next the box was rebooted after the drive was replaced (these systems can hang or go real stupid when a drive is pulled). The drives remapped as was expected. When it came back up the sd? entries had shifted up 1 as expected /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc /dev/sdb -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/sdc -> scsi/host1/bus0/target1/lun0/disc and when the drive was put back in it came up as sdd. Other than a reboot is there any known way to get the drives back in the proper order? Killing devfsd, removing the entries and restarting, etc didn't do any good.
