Question: I have an ubuntu box with 8 SATA drives, 6 on the mobo and 2 on an add-in card. ?How do i determine which physical drive maps to which of the /dev/sd% entries? ?it doesnt appear to be port 0 is sda, 1 is sdb, etc. ?is there a file somewhere that shows this mapping?
Answer: Look in /sys/block, or run sudo lshw and look under your SATA controller.
