How to fix the device names of USB storage devices?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 749 / 2 Years ago, thu, august 25, 2022, 1:49:04

I would like to try building RAID system using two or more USB drives for just an experiment. But, the device names of USB drives will be changed whenever they reput or the system reboot.

For example: /dev/sdb changes to /dev/sdc etc.

Is there any good solution to fix the device names of USB drives ?

Simple: use the UUID instead. Assuming you use mdadm, the --examine switch will tell you the UUIDs (or sudo blkid).

The UUID does not change, no matter what the device name is.
