Jeff, Is there a way to bind the sd dives to the sata ports instead of available harddrives? For instance Sda is port0 of sata controler0 Sdb is port1 of sata controler0 Sdc is port2 of sata controler0 Sdd is port3 of sata controler0 If the disk on port2 fails and the system is rebooted. I want the disk on port3 still be available under sdd and not changing to sdc. Regards, Marc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.
