Adding new drive as sda1?

[subzer0]

I just connected a new drive and it hooked up as sda1 where my / and swap disk where before. Is there a problem with this? I have formated the disk with gparted a 4T Seagate, ext4 gpt. The disk is fore expanding the greyhole pool.

When I run hda-diskmount i get.

****************************************************************
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already in /etc/fstab as /dev/sda1
This device appears to be commented out of your /etc/fstab. You will need to remove it from there for hda-diskmount to be able to mount it.


Should i edit the fstab or try to connect the drive to another sata port?

Is there any dowside to run the disk as sda?

sda1 is usually the first OS drive mapping.
Every partition or mapping after sda1 should rise by number or letter... otherwise you might conflict with something already mapped elsewhere.

The OS drive jumped to SDB now after I connected this drive. I try a nother SATA port.
