What I wanted was of course that if I had hda and hdc, it shouldnt try =
to
detect hdb. I didnt want hdc to change into hdb just because there was =
no
physical hdb. (this is the way SCSI works right now, and it's damn
annoying)
Is this supp=E5osed to be fixed in v2.1, that the SCSI subsystem will u=
se
devicenames that represents the SCSI ID number instead of the number of
drives that are detected previously?
