Drive detection goo
Authored by: Lanir on Jan 12, '03 06:00:43AM

I don't think I can answer this cleanly but I can tell you a little more about it and hopefully that'll lead you in the right direction. The problem you're running into is the mach kernel is detecting your devices in different orders when it starts up. I don't know jack about your configuration but some things you might want to try if you're on a desktop machine are to move the drives to different controllers if they're on the same one or put them on the same controller (same cable) if they're not already. If they're scsi drives they should be recognized in order of scsi ID. If they're ide they should be recognized in order of primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave. If that's not true in your case, experiment until you find what works.
If you're on a laptop... Good luck. I can't imagine too many reasons why a laptop would recognize a firewire or usb drive faster than a local disk.

the drive has always been master on the 4th controller. however the 2nd and 3rd controller maskerade as a SCSI controler so i _think_ it is pretending to be SCSI ID 2

the good news is that uppong applying the UUID to the partition, and FSTAB, it now works perfectly! woohoo!
