Hi, We have some computers running scientific Linux that share an internal DVD unit (we chenage it to the one needed). The problem we've found is that plugging in that unit changes the way the OS "labels" the disks. This is (just an hypotetical example): / /home DVD-unit Without DVD-unit /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1 With DVD-unit /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdd1 /dev/hda Is there a way I can keep that assignemnt fixed ? Anywhere I can find info about it? Thanks in advance, -- Ángel Gutiérrez Rodríguez

Look in /dev/disk/ $ ls -la /dev/disk/ by-id/ by-label/ by-path/ by-uuid/ UUID and LABEL depend on what CD/DVD is inserted in the drive by id and path are dependent on the hardware and how it is connected so I would go with those. Regards.

Anywhere I can find info > about it? /dev/hda is the master on your primary ide interface. /dev/hdb is the slave on your primary ide interface /dev/hdc is the master on your secondary ide interface /dev/hdd is the slave on your secondary ide interface It seems to me as if you have connected your DVD as the single drive on your primary ide interface and connected your hard drives to the secondary interface. Usually it is a better idea to connect the booting hard drive as master to your primary ide interface. I would say that you should simply switch the ide connections on your motherboard to fix this problem. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
