Nope, no LVM on the RIAD array. It just needs to load right after the main LVM so that something removable doesn't wiggle its way in and mess up the device order. Yes, the suggestion from Robert H looks promising - working on it now. Did i say i hate udev? I thought there was going to be a replacement for it at some point? - cal sawyer -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Lamar Owen Sent: 01 April 2011 14:18 To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Controlling the order of /dev/sdX devices?

The issue seemed to be that the udev rule prevented the detection of the LVM on that RAID completely when it came up as /dev/sdd. The other udev rule in-thread seems to be a possible solution; will be interesting to see if it works. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
