Why would you want to define "correct" numbering the non-spread-out
numbering? Or did I misunderstand you?
I have all my disks as master drives on the channels. Now, when I hook up
another disk for backup or maintenance purposes, my numbering is messed up.
With spread-out numbering I do not have to worry about anything... sounds
more "correct" to me.
