Mounted disks change mounting order after reboot.

[Brutalix]

I have my server running on an old athlon with 2 old promise controllers. I am also using the onboard storage controllers. My problem is that even if i mount the disks in fstab, something weird happens everytime i reboot. It changes the order of the mount, so the disk that was previously mounted as /mnt/dill now becomes /mnt/audiobooks etc.
How can I prevent that for happening.

I included the fstab and the Fdisk -l output, hope someone can figure it out, its a bit anoying, but i havent found any other posts with the same problem, so it might be due to my hardware?

Thanxx in advance.

Brut.

Sorry I can't give a direct answer, but I know there is a way to mount them by a unique ID. This would solve your problem, let me see if I can get a link.


EDIT:

sudo blkid
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuidThat should give you the UUID's, you can then edit your fstab to use that instead of /mnt/dill.

Thanks what you suggested worked perfectly.
