Question about scsi device names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list,

Here is some background for my question:

I have a machine with two sata disks, one connected to the
onboard sata controller, the other to an add-on ESATA board
plugged into the PCIX slot.

My puzzle:

When I boot a kernel from the 2.6.28 series, the onboard
controller's disk gets dubbed /dev/sdb, and the ESATA disk
is /dev/sda.

When I boot the same machine with a more recent kernel like
Linus's 2.6.30 series, the device names are reversed.

Is this change in behavior expected based on recent kernel
patches?

Thanks.
