[ovirt-users] disk ordering

[Vered Volansky]

Paul,

This does not suppose to happen, so we'll need much more data in order to pin-point the problem, I hope you'll be able to do this for us.
We'll need the exact flow in both cases (bootable is sda or sbd).
Is this a new VM with new installations? An old VM?
Are all the VMs based on the same template? If not what are the differences?
Is it always EL6?
What version are you using?

Please add anything else that differentiate the two flows, and what's the same.

Shahar may have more questions for you about this before you get your answer.
Thanks in advance, Shahar, for your help on this.

Regards,
Vered
