Unable to add dev by ata-label - problem for SATA SSDs
danielwdlh opened this issue · comments
Most SATA SSDs have either bad or no WWN to add.
Adding by /dev/sdX can result in a massive problem if the linux drive lettering changes on reboot
Additionally, if a device fails enough to be "removed" it is no longer possible to look up the dev SN from the pool/by correlating WWN to SN
Cockpit doesn't offer devices by the "ata label" even though they are (at least under linux) in the same /dev/disk/by-id/ folder as the WWN IDs.
