Subject: Question about scsi device names
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:36:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <h0s7tv$d8f$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi list,
Here is some background for my question:
I have a machine with two sata disks, one connected to the
onboard sata controller, the other to an add-on ESATA board
plugged into the PCIX slot.
My puzzle:
When I boot a kernel from the 2.6.28 series, the onboard
controller's disk gets dubbed /dev/sdb, and the ESATA disk
is /dev/sda.
When I boot the same machine with a more recent kernel like
Linus's 2.6.30 series, the device names are reversed.
Is this change in behavior expected based on recent kernel
patches?
Thanks.
