I would never recommend for a business as file server with simultaneous use of motherboard SATA ports, a PCI-E SAS card, and USB things on an ongoing basis. That seems like poor component selection, IMVAO. [0]
Sometimes you just have to do such things. I run a server which has as it's main purpose preparing SD card images for embedded PCs. The images are made by the people who install the embedded PCs on-site (who wear high-visibility clothing). Getting them to unplug USB devices during system boot isn't a viable option. I just have to make the system work with a SD card being sda and hard drives being sde and sdf if it boots with the USB device connected. As for Ethernet device names, here are the device names I chose for one of my systems: ethbl ethbr gethm getht lo mb0 The sockets on PCI boards are bottom-left, bottom-right, middle (gig-e), and top (gig-e). The motherboard has a single socket. Udev naming worked for me and didn't need any special configuration. Now I use files in /etc/systemd/ network and again it works without any special configuration. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
