Version 0.4 of scsi_id is available at:
|
|
|
|
http://www-124.ibm.com/storageio/scsi_id/scsi_id-0.4.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
scsi_id is a program to generate a unique identifier for a given SCSI
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
It is primarily for use with the udev callout key. It could also be used
|
|
for automatic multi-path configuration or device mapper configuration.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.4 requires:
|
|
|
|
- Linux kernel 2.6
|
|
- libsysfs 0.4.0
|
|
|
|
Major changes since the last release:
|
|
|
|
- Support block device partitions
|
|
|
|
- Added a script to auto-generate udev rules. The script is not
|
|
installed but is part of the tarball.
|
|
|
|
Detailed changes:
|
|
|
|
- Add man page verbage about usage with udev, and running via
|
|
hotplug
|
|
|
|
- Disable support for -e (all output to stderr) as it cannot be
|
|
used in any useful way, and the -c (device specific callout) as
|
|
the code is incomplete and has no users.
|
|
|
|
- Don't print errno for NULL return from sysfs_get_classdev_device.
|
|
|
|
- Get rid of dead/leftover code that checked if we are on a scsi
|
|
bus.
|
|
|
|
- ":" consistently in output messages.
|
|
|
|
- Add missing new lines for some error messages.
|
|
|
|
- open O_NONBLOCK so we handle tape drives without tapes loaded.
|
|
|
|
- Remove hacks based on KLIBC define to get around problems when
|
|
building with udev (udev libsysfs files were rearranged).
|
|
|
|
- As done in udev code, support partitions via looking for a
|
|
parent of the target path. Uses libsysfs functions to do most of
|
|
the work, and includes changing a lot of variables to be struct
|
|
sysfs_device instead of sysfs_class_device.
