Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: udev
Since updating my Fiesty installation a few days ago, my parallel IDE
drive is no longer described by udev as /dev/hdc, but instead is being
designated as /dev/sda or /dev/sdc depending on the boot. I also have
two SATA drives in the box, and these are getting punted around based on
whether the PATA drive comes up as /dev/sda (in which case they are
/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) or if the PATA drive comes up as /dev/sdc (in
which case they are /dev/sda and /dev/sdc). I have worked around this
problem by using UUID designations in the /etc/fstab file, and my system
is stable. I first found the problem when I had added the SATA disks to
the system after the Fiesty install and used the traditional /dev/sdb
/dev/sdc fstab scheme. At the time, the PATA disk was /dev/sda. After
a reboot, the PATA disk became /dev/sdc and my mount points totally
failed. Including some info, please ask for more as needed.
Thanks,
-Jim Heck
