fixed drive name

[Marti, Rob]

Saying "faied" is a perfect description of the problem.  I can tell exactly what went wrong.

Wait - no I can't.  I get that it didn't keep sdb (do your disks change that often?  What are you really trying to accomplish?)
Are there any error messages?
Can you paste your udev config and the output of scsi_id /dev/blockdevice ?

As was said, udev is the right place to do this, you might just be missing a step.

Yes, I did the similar procedure in RHEL5 using UDEV, but failed.

The procedure is similar in RHEL 5, you need to do it using "udev"
rules.

Hi list,

 I want to give some hard drive a fixed name, say,sdb,sdc...

 In RHEL4, I can handle it using such method:
 1. edit /etc/scsi_id.conf, change options=-b to options=-g
 2. use command: scsi_id /block/sdb to get the scsi uuid of the hard
drive, assume it returns 123456
 3. create a rule file under /etc/udev/rules.d, which contains a line
like
    BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT="123456", NAME="sdb%n"
 4. OK, each time I restart the server, the drive is fixed to sdb and
never changes.

However, in RHEL5, I can't do it anyway. So any clue?

Thanks
