Re: How can I tell what drive is sdb?

Hi,

I have a system with raid10 running Ubuntu 8.10.  It uses a
"promise"card

# lsusb
..
01:02.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40718 (SATA
300 TX4) (rev 02)
..

I have 4 identical disks on it and they show up as /dev/sda, b, c, and
d.

However, sdb needs to be replaced.  How can I tell which drive is sdb?
Is there a way to identify what drive is what?

Thanks
Rick

Hi

Check serial number of drive via hdparm -I /dev/sdb or looks into
/dev/disk/by-id. Write carefully serial number and shutdown & replace
correct drive :)
