Dear list, I'm using DRBD for quite a while now and I'm about to restructure my installation a little bit. I'm currently thinking about removing a few virtual hard disks (my drbd setup runs very fine in VMware Server). The problem with removing and adding hard disks is that it's likely that the device names move one up or down. It would be very convenient if it would be possible to use the UUID of a partition/blockdevice to identify it in the device section of drbd.conf. Comparable to the UUID=-tag in /etc/fstab used by more recent distributions. Is this something that may be added to drbd? Maybe it's possible to rename the drbd devices with udev, but since all my tries to actually use udev with custom entries and scripts are a total fail, i'd like to ask is anybody here uses udev with renaming for his/her drbd devices. Anyone? Thank you for readind and goodbye, juergen
