multiple usb drives 2006-08-16 - By chuck lawrence
Back
greetings,
I've got an interesting problem. I've got 3 external usb drives, all
running thru a usb 2.0 pci card. the first two (sda and sdb) are
roughly the same vintage. the most recent addition, a year later, is a
larger, faster disk.
when I boot with them all on, the new disk wants to be sda, rather than
sdc. I surmise this may be because it's a faster disk, and registers
first. I was mounting volumes from the older disks in /etc/rc.local,
but now must mount manually, powering up the new disk after booting.
claerly this is less than ideal.
is this an inherent problem with multiple external usb drives? I could
reorder the mount sequence, but it makes me a bit wary that I can't
control which disk is which. should I not try to mount them at boot time?
adv(thanks)ance
