That happened very early in the life of Solaris, in the early 90s. Persistent numbering was added to Solaris in response to this incident (there were probably others as well). This was on a relatively large server, with something like 4 SCSI buses. A drive was added to a previously unused bus, making it appear "between" two drives that were already in the system. This gave all the drives further on in the probe sequence a device number one higher than they had previously had. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
