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?
For software RAID you shouldn't care, for other things you might.
Next question: assembling by UUID, does that matter at all?
No. There's the beauty of it.
(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.)
You shouldn't lose data unless you panic at the first learning
experience and do something without thinking of the results. I would
convert to UUID first, obviously.
