JaseNZ Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Is it possible to have the drives retain their assigned drive letters at boot at all. When the server is rebooted the drives are assigned a different letter which screws up my temp monitoring of the drives for the graph and I have to reassign the drives to the correct letter if booted.

Frank1940 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Use the last few digits of the drive's serial number... Quote Link to comment

There is not (and never will be) any guarantee for a drive to be assigned a particular sdX name at boot time. It's all dependent upon the order in which the drives enumerate themselves. They do tend to not change if you don't add / remove drives though (but no guarantee) If you're scripting all this then you would have to extract the appropriate designation for the drive from /var/local/emhttp/disks.ini 1 Quote Link to comment
JaseNZ Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yeah I thought as much , I use hddtemp2influxdb and grafana for temp monitoring. 1 Quote Link to comment
