Hello, I have a system that is running: 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD. It is a netfinity machine with one internal scsi drive with four external drives connected to the same adapter. The internal drive is da4 and it contains the OS. The four external drives are da0, da1, da2, da3 and they are currently not being used. I had them in a vinum raid5 array but that died. (I realize that is my own fault for running vinum raid5 on a 3.3-R system) Anyways, I need to take one of the external drives out but I am fearing that when I do that on the next subsequent reboot the box will not boot right because the drive with the OS on it will not be da4 anymore, it will become da3 because one drive is not there. Am I correct? How can I accomplish this? Is it as easy as changing /etc/fstab to point to the new drive instead of da4? (I really don't think it is). Thanks for your help and please let me know if you need any more details. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
