(help) Ext HDDs mount to different locations each reboot.

[gijosh28]

Hi,

I have a pair of Toshiba 3TB externals, plugged into a USB hub and then in to the RT-AC66. I am running Asus-wrt Merlin 3.0.0.4.374.42_0. The drives are formatted EXT4. They are shared both SMB and NFS through the GUI.

The problem is that sometimes when I reboot the Asus the drive that was sda1 is now sdb1, and vice versa. Then it is a crapshoot of reboots trying to get them to mount back the way they were. In fact they usually don't and I have to erase everything and rebuild all my databases.

Is there a way to make it mount the same drive to the same /dev/sdx every time?

Thanks,
Josh

You need to use Labels to mount the disk.
