Hello, I want to put bigger disks into my server. What I want to do is replace the first disk, rebuild the raid, replace the second disk, rebuild the raid. The machine has two disks, sda and sdb. But, when I replace a disk, it gets a new device name. E.g. /dev/sdb becomes /dev/sdc. After a reboot it's good again, but I prefer not to reboot this machine! Is there a way to get the correct device name? When not: Is it maybe an idea too add the wrong device name to the md-device? mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdc1 Then replace /dev/sda what becomes /dev/sdd: mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdd1 Then restore grub on both disks (with "--recheck" ??) But what will happen after a reboot later? Will the md-device be restored with the old names?
