Hi, I'm using the new iSCSI stack on FreeBSD 10. Seems to work fine so far - but I've noticed an issue (which is probably not related to new/old stack). I have a number of iSCSI targets setup - when they initially connect, they appear as '/dev/da[6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13]' However, if the remote node dies - when the iSCSI targets reconnect some of the drives transpose positions. I'm not specifically reconnecting them - just bringing the remote back up (when ctld / iscsid load up) - causes the local node to 'see' the drives have returned after a while (i.e. I don't run any iscsictl commands or anything). e.g. This time round drive previously connected to '/dev/da11' has now transposed with the drive that was connected to '/dev/da12' Is there any way I can prevent this? - i.e. by pre-alloctating / specifying '/dev/da' entries for devices or something? It's easy to see it happening on this test system as the drives are a mix of 750Gb and 2Tb - so when a 2Tb switches places with a 750Gb it's pretty obvious :) -Karl
