The first one you create (Default disk group) is LDAD 00, the next one LDAD 01...<BR /><BR />The LDAD number is part of the disk group objectid, the first 2 digits of the objectid are the disk group number.

The output does not give the hexuid or objectid which I could extract through sssu "ls diskgroupfolder full".<BR /><BR />I'd like to not use evaperf without -nfn, since this would require me to always keep the fnames.conf file updated and I try to run evaperf 24/7 to always gather performane data. Easier for me to run an sssu script in parallel and correlate later.

At worst, it will hang indefinitely.<BR /><BR />Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, when the update starts the fnames.conf file get copied to a .bak file and a new fnames.conf is created. During this, there is no friendly names mapping and an ongoing evaperf data collection not using -nfn won't have a friendly names file anyway and I end up with a performance log contain both friendly and non-friendly names.
