Ah, then think about compiling in the SATA drivers. >> What if you set the RAID device to be noauto mount, and then create >> a script in /etc/rcS.d somewhere after /etc/fstab is processed. >> That script would "manually" mount the RAID device. > > The problem is not with mounting the devices, but with the name they get > under /dev/ independently if they are mounted or not... Right, they get assigned during boot. >> Also maybe you could write udev rules to avoid the issue by giving >> symbolic names to all the drives. > > I already did this but somehow, during the boot process, it would try to > access the /dev/sdN and abort... Try the compiling-in SATA drivers (that also means you won't need initram[?]), and leaving the "external RAID card" driver as a module. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA Is "common sense" really valid? For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEr9htS9HxQb37XmcRAl/DAKDME+r+yrd/sdM5eussPTGzzg8LpwCg30KJ gzZ9m2M83iUXPnrgN0s4nVE= =QAFq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
