It shouldn't. If there's already a DH0: the system should rename the
other one DH0.0:. However, you can't be certain which way round this
will happen. You would expect the master to get priority, but I
wouldn't put money on it.

It's kludgy anyway, what's wrong with renaming the partitions on one of
the drives?
