Set volume labels and then mount using the volume labels. It won't matter who is sdb, sdc, sdd, etc. Mike -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sean Hawthorne Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 1:15 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RHEL4 and Disk Druid inconsistencies Hello All, I've been trying my darnedest to build a pair of clustered servers this week. I have been though the RHEL4 install on all four machines. All of which are the exact same hardware. One thing that is driving me nuts though is Disk Druid. I have been very careful about building all my partitions exactly the same (same order and sizes, etc....), yet I keep getting different results. i.e. I'll slice both hard drives like so: sda1 200MB software raid sda2 2000MB software raid sda3 6000MB software raid sda4 extended partition sda5 232800MB software raid All the cluster sizes match and everything. All seems good. Then I start making the RAID sets. Some times I'll end up with this: md0 200MB /boot md1 6000MB / md2 2000MB swap md3 232800MB /data other times I'll end up with this (or something else completely). md0 2000MB swap md1 6000MB / md2 232800MB /data md3 200MB /boot There doesn't seem to be any consistency in how disk druid orders the md devices when they are created. While not 100% necessary to have the clusters all setup exactly the same, it certainly does make administering them easier if I don't have to deal with nuances like this. So, my questions: 1) Can anyone tell me how to repeatably get the same results from disk druid each time, or why it does this? 2) Is there any way to reorder the md devices once the system is installed? What do I need to change/look for? -- Sean Hawthorne Roam IT Technical Professional Email: shawthorne@xxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
