From: Ewan D. Milne on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2504#note_1444144843 We have never *guaranteed* consistent names across reboots, It just happens that this almost always works unless the device fails to respond, which we can't fix anyway. However, testing by users has found that Bart's change to use the driver code made the boot ordering *very* randomized. I agree that we should not document this as guaranteeing anything, just as making the probing synchronous, like it used to be. Really, that's all people are asking for, to get the behavior consistent with earlier RHEL. It does not help e.g. for fabric attached SAN devices because the connection to the storage may not be up at boot time, users have dealt with that for decades. It helps with local disks. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
