Install three disks, sd1a is /tmp and sd2a is users. Guess what happens if sd1 breaks down, controller misses it by the phase of the moon, or you forget to power it up if it is in an external box. I wouldn't be happy about editing fstab every time disk configuration changes, but that is a minor problem compared to potential dangers this brings us. (I already complained, but maybe it is a good idea to gnats it so that it won't be forgotten) >How-To-Repeat: Install disks with id's 0 and 2 and you get sd0 and sd1. >Fix: Add ability to wire down SCSI disks.
