Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 80766
new external usb hard disk arbitrarily assigned /dev/sda1
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:49:24 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: My computer, a dell poweredge 410, has 4 scsi disks set up as raid 5, other miscellaneous attached scsi items, and an external usb hard disk for backup. I installed redhat 8.0 with the 4 disks assigned sda - sdd with boot, the root and swap partition on sda. However, after I attached a new usb external hard disk, and rebooted, the new hard disk was assigned /dev/sda! Thus, the root and swap partitions are on sdb, and the other 3 raid disks are sdc-sde. Now, when I boot - it still boots ok - it can't find the swap partition. Otherwise, everything works ok. FYI, here's 'cat /etc/fstab': LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/md0 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom1 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/sdf1 /mnt/jaz auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set up raid 5 - root/boot/swap on sda 2.attach usb external hard disk 3.reboot Actual Results: same thing Expected Results: I had hoped that the new hard disk would have been assigned /dev/sdf1 or /dev/sde1 so that I wouldn't lose my /dev/swap partition. Additional info:
This seems very odd. Do you have usb-storage on your initrd?
Bill - Thanks for taking a look at this. Its not really a big deal as I have lots of RAM and haven't noticed any performance problems. I am running the stock redhat kernel - 2.4.18-18.8.0smp - so I really don't know if usb-storage is in initrd. How do I check this? 'man initrd' didn't help. If there's anything else I can do to sort this oddity out, let me know. Barry
Run 'mkinitrd -v foo.img 2.4.18-18.8.0smp'; is usb-storage one of the modules it puts on the initrd?

What happens if you run the same command with the usb drive mounted somewhere? Can you attach the 'dmesg' output from a normal boot?

Good luck. Hope its not a stupid config mistake by me. Barry
OK, so whatever initrd you're using *does* have usb-storage on it, before the SCSI adapters. mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.4.18-18.8.0smp.img 2.4.18-18.8.0smp should make an initrd without usb-storage, from what you've mentioned. I think it's probably a bug in mkinitrd that it puts the usb-storage first.
3.4.34-1 defaults to not including any usb modules unless explicitly requested
Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED state for these products. However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the cracks.
