If your mass storage devices are like mine they will appear as a generic scsi devices: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. In that case I think that there are programs in the scsitools package to handle this. I think scsidev from that package is what you are looking for: scsidev - populate /dev/scsi with device names that are persistent against SCSI configuration changes. I haven't really used it that much but it seems to generate device nodes in the /dev/scsi/ directory. I have: bijan@server:/dev/scsi$ ls sdh1-0c0i0l0 sdh1-0c0i0l0p1 sgh1-0c0i0l0 Hope that helps, Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
