Hello! I found some odd behavior of ata device numbering. It seems, that there is no effect of option ATA_STATIC_ID in CURRENT. What I have: supermicro server with 4 sata ports onto Intel ICH7 SATA300 controller recent CURRENT sata mode in BIOS is Enhanced ahci support in BIOS in Enabled option ATA_STATIC_ID in KERNCONF So, if I boot with 4 HDD connected to sata i found ad4,ad6,ad8,ad10 as disks. but when I detach disk, which "was" ad8 in last case, and then reboot - I see ad4,ad6,ad8! and not ad4,ad6,ad10! atacontrol list doesn't show an empty ata channel. Only channels with HDDs connected. I check 6.x 7.x on the same server with _the same configuration in bios_ - and all works as suspected - there are empty ata channels, there are really static device numbers. when I set AHCI to Disabled I have just two ata channels (with AHCI - I have four, one for each sata disk) and with or without HDDs connected I see empty channels and have really static dev nums in the same CURRENT. So my question is - is it my fault? does I miss something? Or it is a bug? Yes ;) I know about glabel, but my setup is complicated enough without them ( gpart-ed disks with zfs-only setup) so I do not want to make it more complicated. And with such behavior I cannot add disks on the fly, if there is no empty ata channels. -- With best regards, AVR39-RIPEReceived on Sun May 24 2009 - 17:21:50 UTC
