Fine. They are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Now i have added an additional pci Adaptec 2940 scsi adapter connected to a Dell 210s with seven 9gb drives. The above two drives (which were in the Dell 2450) are now: /dev/sdh.../dev/sdi. Why did they change order/id? Does the external adapter (2940) precede the scsi id's of the internal scsi adapter? Does scsi order the scsi id of ALL the combined scsi devices? Is there a way to keep the 2450 internal drives as /dev/sda, and /dev/sdb? Would i want ot keep them any specific way? Any suggestions for a good scsi arrangement with this Dell 2450 and Powervault 210s configuration (besides raid, i don't have the perc controller yet). Lot's of questions, but I know there is some good advice out there. So many thanks for comments.
