(As opposed to cluttering up this list.) I need to find out, at kickstart time, which drive, if any, is in "Slot0" of the hardware. Problem scenario: Machine with six drives in slots 0-5. For whatever reason, the system is about to be rebuilt. BUT, the drive in slot0 has decided to go belly-up and no longer responds as expected. Normally, what will happen is that the kickstart process will wipe and rebuild on the drive in Slot1 since it is the first drive. This is not the desired outcome. What I want to do is confirm that the drive I'm focusing on is the "correct" one in the physical hardware slot 0. I can look in /sys/class/scsi_disk/ and gather some of the info but I'm assuming I'm not the first person down this road and i was looking for a proper well to dip into. Any advice? Thanks for everyone's time. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan. http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A.
