    Hi all,

    I have 2 disk drives on my system (RH 7.3)--sda and sdb. Red Hat boots
    from sdb. I used sda for an old version of Red Hat and I want to
    phyiscally remove sda from the system (due to noise). Before I
    physically
    remove it, I know that I have to change references to in in:

    /etc/mtab
    /etc/grub.conf
    /etc/fstab

    are there any other places that I have missed?

    Thanks for the sanity check,

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    You'll want to check the /boot/grub/device.map and /boot/grub/menu.lst
    for correct references to sda, since the current sdb will become sda. I
    think that completes the list I changed when I did this last summer.
