Package: src:linux Version: 5.10.106-1 Between 5.10.103-1 and 5.10.106-1 (image -13) something changed which reliably causes what used to show as /dev/sda to show as /dev/sdb. Other block devices plugged into the SCSI subsystem may have swapped around, but I've yet to untangle the others. A few utilities are still sensitive to block device order and this causes issues for those. Nothing on the hardware explains this. The controller thinks the device has a lower number, the device should respond much faster. The lowest level is the cciss driver. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sigmsg@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445

I don't see any changes to SCSI or block drivers between these versions that would explain this. However, the kernel names of block devices have generally not been stable for a long time and you should not expect them to be completely stable. When you need to refer to a specific controller port you can use one of the links under /dev/disk/by-path.
