The kernel assigns minor SCSI device numbers dynamically. This is done
by assigning them only to actually connected devices in order of their
SCSI-id's (mostly ascending). This means that connecting an external
SCSI device changes the minors of all internal devices with a higher
SCSI-id forcing me to change /etc/fstab when connecting the external
device and to change it back when disconnecting the device.
I created a small scsiorder patch to solve this by fixing the problem
where it originates. More info:
http://flits102-126.flits.rug.nl/~rolf/scanorder/index.html There's a
small description of the alternatives like devfs and scsidev as well.
cheers!
Rolf.
