<i> &gt; &gt; All detected devices are assigned a raw-device in the order in which they </i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; are detected. Scanning the busses goes dev-id first, then bus-id.</i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; Thus you first get all devices on the first bus, then all on the second,</i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; each in order of the SCSI IDs.</i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; Thus your scanner wanders whenever a device that is below it in that ordering</i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; scheme is there or not.</i><br>
<i> &gt; &gt; </i><br>
<p>
Alright, out of curiousity then:<br>
<p>
Is there any particular reason why SCSI devices are assigned this way, rather<br>
than having the X in /dev/sgX be a direct function of device id and bus id?<br>
(e.g. /dev/sgA4 = device with ID=4 on the first bus)<br>
<p>
The way it is now, suppose one of 5 scsi disks blows out when you power up,<br>
then the rest all get their device assignments shifted and your server is<br>
*totally* screwed...<br>
