fixed drive name

[Geofrey Rainey]

The procedure is similar in RHEL 5, you need to do it using "udev"
rules.

Subject: fixed drive name

Hi list,

 I want to give some hard drive a fixed name, say,sdb,sdc...

 In RHEL4, I can handle it using such method:
 1. edit /etc/scsi_id.conf, change options=-b to options=-g
 2. use command: scsi_id /block/sdb to get the scsi uuid of the hard 
drive, assume it returns 123456
 3. create a rule file under /etc/udev/rules.d, which contains a line
like
    BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT="123456", NAME="sdb%n"
 4. OK, each time I restart the server, the drive is fixed to sdb and 
never changes.

However, in RHEL5, I can't do it anyway. So any clue?

Thanks
