title: How could I force minor number allocation for SAN on linux?
body: <p>I've got a cluster both attached to a SAN (using multipath on linux), using RAW devices for ORACLE.</p>
  
  <p>When each box boot they pick up differant minor number (I guess it's first come first serve), seems to be random allocation, not sure I need to find a way to force it. (Used to love my solaris box...). 
  Therefore ORACLE is using minor number and failover will just mean loosing all the data! </p>
