I installed it on a raid 1 on the integrated Perc 5i. The root device was /dev/mfid0s2a. Then, I configured a raid 5 device on the Perc 5e. Now, my root device was /dev/mfid1s2a. As a test, I configured an additional raid 1 device on the Perc 5e. Now my root device is /dev/mfid2s2a. How do I get the internal raid device to be /dev/mfid0 and not change every time I add an external raid device? The machine BIOS lists the Perc 5i first, and the Perc BIOS lists the Perc 5i as controller 0 and the Perc 5e as controller 1. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, Dan
