I'd rather think GEOM labelling and letting nature take its course is the best invention since sliced bread if you're dealing with more than two drives (you might try fighting the squid salad you're facing with 24 unmarked SAS lines coming out of some port extender or trying to remember which drawer was connected to which link). And with a large number of drives investing some money in a controller that will help you getting things done (usually made by LSI these days) wouldn't be a mistake, either (also considering the tools that are available). And as Alan Somers already mentioned, there are those sg3 utils (http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html), too. Achim
