I noticed that behaviour with my CentOS6 (installed and kept up-to-date using yum). This happened since kernel kernel-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 and furthers updates. Was working as expected (my laptop's hdd mounted as sda) with previous kernels, up to kernel-2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64. I wonder if that behaviour, and the *change* of behaviour is an issue that should be reported, and how to handle it on installed systems! For now, I'm either booting w/ no USB disk plugged, or booting a 2.6.32-131 kernel. Regards, -- wwp
