Or worse, on a file server where you lose a low-numbered disk, not
only does that one go away, but everything higher numbered loses as
well. This "feature" does nothing other than introduce a gratuitous
backwards-incompatibility. There is nothing wrong with the "old" scheme.
I've loathed this behaviour since it was introduced into SCSI/CAM,
and would rejoice at its removal.
