There is no problem with multipath recognising different devices. Nor is there a problem with raid devices. at boot these are all recognised, if they change, no problem at all... situation we have: local disks in raid1 (i'd prefer sda + sdb) san disks are multipath (sdc and on...) problem is: lilo.conf... i say: [r|b]oot=/dev/md0 raid-extra-boot="/dev/sda, /dev/sdb" the last rule poses the problem. depending on how many multipath devices i have, i constantly have to change lilo.conf for every machine. in bsd, there is a way to set your drives to a fixed name, is there something alike in linux? or a sollution to this problem? (i'm definately willing to help find one, if there isn't... and i guess i'm not the only one with this problem?) thanks in advance all!
