I have a machine with a 2940UW and a 2940 in it, and I would like to wire my SCSI drives down so that: sd0 = Controller #0 (which boots the system), ID #0 sd1 = Controller #0 ID #1 ... sd7 = Controller #1 ID #0 sd8 = Controller #1 ID #1 ... The idea is that the system boot's off the 2940UW, and as I'm going to be adding and removing a large number of drives over both the controllers - I don't want sd0 to 'suddenly' get assigned somewhere else - and I'd like the drives sdX number to be dependant on their ID (to avoid the sdX table 'collapsing' when I remove drives from the middle)... To this end I've got: controller scbus0 at ahc0 controller scbus1 at ahc1 disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 ... disk sd7 at scbus1 target 0 disk sd8 at scbus1 target 1 ... In my kernel config... When I try to config the kernel I get: " caladan# config SMP-CALADAN config: line 78: ahc 1 not defined Warning: sd0 is configured at scbus1 which is not fixed at a single adapter. " I fixed this by adding another line to the config that says: controller ahc1 My questions are: a) Is this going to work? - It would 'appear' to work thus far, but I've not added the drives yet... b) Can anyone think of anything bad that's going to happen if I do this?
