Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2006 20:12:14 +0200 Message-ID: <200607062012.14684.Dexter.Filmore@gmx.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids Currently I have 4 discs on a 4 channel sata controller which does its job quite well for 20 bucks. Now, if I wanted to grow the array I'd probably go for another one of these. How can I tell if the discs on the new controller will become sd[e-h] or if they'll be the new a-d and push the existing ones back? Next question: assembling by UUID, does that matter at all? (And while talking UUID - can I safely migrate to a udev-kernel? Someone on this list recently ran into trouble because of such an issue.)
