I have a system with 4 onboard sata ports. The system also has four 4-port sata controllers plugged into it. The raid works fine but if i reboot the system, sometimes my harddisks are mixed up so that my system disk(normally sda) is sometimes sdb or sdc... My system disk is plugged to one of onboard sata ports. I already tried to bind the disks statically via udev to a certain device name, but no chance. Are there any other methods to stop this mixing of the drives? Or does anyone have the same problem? Kind regards, Tobias Rehn
