The kernel trend to move all block devices into the sdX namespace combined with the dynamic name allocation renders messages like "/dev/sdc1 has problems" meaningless. It would make remote server support so much easier, by allowing the administrator to label drive trays Component0 Component1 Component2... etc, and be sure that the local tech support person will not pull out the wrong drive from the system. Thanks Peter
