[Tfug] Multiple SCSI cards and RAID question

[Mike Morrell]

  I have two SCSI cards in my computer.  On the second card I have a set 
of drives that I am using in a software RAID 5 array as defined in 
raidtab.   Normally the drives on the first card, an external array, are 
off so the drives in raidtab are defined as /dev/sda(bcd)1.  If you have 
not guessed by now, when I turn on the external drives on the first card 
and then boot into linux the RAID array can start because all the drives 
that are part of the array are now under different names.
  One solution of course is to move the cards/drives around so the 
drives that will be on all the time are first but to me that seems like 
a Microsoft answer to the problem.  How can I setup my RAID to use the 
physical device location (/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target3/lun0/part1) to 
access the raid even if other drives get turned?  Of course I would try 
/dev/scsi/... in my raidtab but at least for kernel 2.6.14 and udev 
these devices dont exist anymore.


Thanks,

Mike
