I have a system with eight drives (/dev/sda thru /dev/sdh). The drives were easy to keep straight as they were ordered left to right alphabetically and numerically.
Drive 0 was /dev/sda
Drive 1 was /dev/sdb
Drive 2 was /dev/sdc
... and so on.
I ended up reloading the system and while I did that I replaced some of the smaller drives with larger drives. I plugged drives in, while the system was running (which wasn't a good idea). What I ended up with is drives which seem to be ordered by how I plugged the drives into the drive bays (I didn't go left to right or 0-7).
Now OMV Storage / Disks shows the disks in order (a-h), but if I try to add the drives to a mergerfs pool using the /dev/sd? lettering. What I found is the drive letters don't match the drives.
Is there an easy way to fix this? One other thing is that I'm running openmediavault-flashmemory 6.2 and most of the files (like /etc/fstab) are read-only (even logged in as root) and probably shouldn't be changed outside of openmediavault anyway.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
My system looks like this:
OpenMediaVault Version 6.0.34-1 (Shaitan)
Processor Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3758 @ 2.20GHz
Kernel Linux 5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
