I thought that they would be mounted in the order that you ran dasd_configure. That's how SLES 10 worked, so I presumed that SLES 11 works this way, but some testing shows that it doesn't. On my system, the root volume is always dasda, then it seems to mount them in the order the files appear in

Actually the swap devices were also defined in fstab as "by-path", so they worked okay. But the the LVM device is set as /dev/vg1/lv1 which is not being created, I assume because of the changed device order. On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 12:57 PM, Mark Pace wrote: > Well that fixed the problem of t

I think, in SLES 11, you either must use Yast to add disks, or to use the scripts supplied by Novell that Yast calls. The script to add dasd is dasd_configure, and if you run it without any arguments, it shows this help: Usage: /sbin/dasd_configure For your use, you'd enter: dasd_configure 0.
