Is there a way to figure out what physical port a drive is being inserted into through linux?












0















Without knowing the order of which drives are being inserted and which ports they are being inserted (by human eye), is there a way to tell where they are being inserted using linux commands? I need this to be able to create a web design showing placement of ports & status etc.
