openSUSE Forums: set hard drive device names

openSUSE Forums openSUSE Forums

set hard drive device names Feb 14th 2013, 07:02 I installed 12.2 on a system with three hard drives. After boot they are designated in /dev as sda, sdb and sdc. Now I want to take sdb offline because it's a backup drive and doesn't have any system files. But when I take the sdb drive out and reboot, of course the former sdc drive becomes /dev/sdb and things don't work the same. Mainly KDE crashes, but I suspect other things will have problems with the changing device name. How can I assign persistent device names to specific hard drives? I see that the UDEV system can do this, but I don't know how to implement it. Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction? thanks, Jay
