Currently I have 4 discs on a 4 channel sata controller which does its job quite well for 20 bucks. Now, if I wanted to grow the array I'd probably go for another one of these. How can I tell if the discs on the new controller will become sd[e-h] or if they'll be the new a-d and push the existing ones back? Next question: assembling by UUID, does that matter at all? (And while talking UUID - can I safely migrate to a udev-kernel? Someone on this list recently ran into trouble because of such an issue.)
