once in a while (can be every couple days or every couple weeks), my usb hard drive changes from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb, and i see this in dmesg:
scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device ReiserFS: sda1: warning: zam-7001: io error in reiserfs_find_entry scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device ReiserFS: sda1: warning: vs-13050: reiserfs_update_sd: i/o failure occurred tryi ng to update [1 2 0x0 SD] stat data scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 8210 lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 ReiserFS: sda1: warning: journal-837: IO error during journal replay REISERFS: abort (device sda1): Write error while updating journal header in flus h_journal_list REISERFS: Aborting journal for filesystem on sda1 scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 2480 lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 2481 lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block 2482 lost page write due to I/O error on sda1 scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device ReiserFS: sda1: warning: zam-7001: io error in reiserfs_find_entry scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device ReiserFS: sda1: warning: zam-7001: io error in reiserfs_find_entry scsi11 (0:0): rejecting I/O to dead device ReiserFS: sdb1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal ReiserFS: sdb1: using ordered data mode ReiserFS: sdb1: journal params: device sdb1, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 ReiserFS: sdb1: checking transaction log (sdb1) ReiserFS: sdb1: replayed 3 transactions in 0 seconds ReiserFS: sdb1: Using r5 hash to sort names after that happens, i have to remount my usb hard drive under /dev/sdb. after a reboot, it's at /dev/sda again. this causes all kinds of problems, because i back up to that drive, so if it changes and i don't catch it, my root drive gets maxed out. i'm using the prebuilt 2.6.8-2-k7 kernel with sarge. any ideas how i can fix this?
