> Why is the new disk showing up as `sdc' instead of `sdb' and why is
I can't comment on the naming - but in regards to the write cache - that is
the information the kernel gets from the device using SCSI commands (to be
exact it MODE_SENSE). The device has it disabled. You can fiddle with MODE_SELECT
command if you want to enable it - but keep in mind that when you have a RAID
it is advised to turn cache off. Unless your computer has a UPS connected so that
you can flush the data immediately and turn off caching.

That is OK.

That is just the static mapping it has setup. Where it says that disks 8:0 and 8:16
are part of the of your RAID. Do a 'ls /dev/ | grep 8' and you will see what
the 8:0, and 8:16 correspond to.
