Hi!
I have been using Linux for about 10 years and have found almost all answers to my problems via the web or just plain messing around until it works. Now I am stuck. I need to be able to plug and unplug two USB hard drives. The catch is that they are used for backing up and need to be swapped out each day. I have done this before without problem, but twice now (two different computers) the drives get assigned /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. The backup program flips out cause it is expecting both drives to be /dev/sdb. How can I change the drive number? Someone mentioned using udev, but I can not figure out what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!
Dave
EDIT: autofs is coded to use /dev/sdb. I can't go in on a daily basis and change the config file for autofs.
