I'm sorry, but just because as little as possible apps should rely on the static name mangling of the devices, and for very specific needs, this should be as close as possible to what bios detects (or want to detect). Let's do an example: grub from booted linux MAY (really dunno) relies on udev to do its job. So, grub could ask to udev: Grub: "Udev, please give me de device of the first hd on a ATA/SATA/SCSI controller, so I may expose it as hd0 to the user and install the bootloader here" Udev: "Ok, It's /dev/sda" If udev itself change this ordering, this will simply breaks application expecting to find an ordering as close as possible to the bios one. IMHO, the behaviour should be reverted to the previous (working) one. -- S-ATA Hard drives swapped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225175 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
