Hello All,

I have a virtual machine to which I dynamically attach/detach disk
devices. On this VM the boot device is always '/dev/sda'.

When a attach and detach different disk continuously to this virtual
machine, every-time, the same device file '/deb/sdb' is created. Is
there anyway I can tell udev subsystem to not to reuse the previously
used device names?

Thanks and Warm Regards,
Prasad
