The drive moves to another device path

Keep the drive interface stable when another USB serial adapter is connected first.

Pairs with Linux devices and electrical evidence in Hardware Integration & CANopen. Read the concept first, then diagnose it here.

How this lab works

You diagnose it — no command list.

Open the repair workspace and gather your own evidence in a real terminal. No diagnostic commands are handed to you — finding the fault is the exercise. Stuck? Progressive hints unlock inside the workspace.

Verification

Your repair must pass more than the visible symptom.

  • Stable symlink resolves
  • Reconnect order does not change target
  • Hidden regression behavior
  • Root cause explanation
