    So, lets see, how it is currently:

    I have

    /dev/hda -> IDE
    /dev/sda -> SCSI ID0
    /dev/sdb -> SCSI ID3
    /dev/sdc -> SCSI ID4
    /dev/sdd -> SCSI ID5

    Now I remove SCSI ID3. 'drive does not spin underwater error'

    /dev/sda -> SCSI ID0
    /dev/sdb -> SCSI ID4
    /dev/sdc -> SCSI ID5

    :-(

    Not too different from the scheme you criticized above. But it is
    already in there. And IMHO it sucks. :-(

    Ciao
