1 Version 0.5 of scsi_id is available at:
3 http://www-124.ibm.com/storageio/scsi_id/scsi_id-0.5.tar.gz
5 scsi_id is a program to generate a unique identifier for a given SCSI
8 It is primarily for use with the udev program key, or hotplug scripts that
9 want persistent naming of scsi devices. It could also be used for
10 automatic multi-path configuration or device mapper configuration.
17 Major changes since the last release:
19 - Ken Brush <ken@cgi101.com> have the command line options
20 override generic options.
22 - Fix the gen_scsi_id_udev_rules.sh to handle spaces in the id.
24 - Don't supply a makedev() when built with klibc. Also, the
25 scsi_id supplied makedev() was using the old major/minor method.
27 - Include compiler.h so we can build against klibc, as recent sg.h
28 changes need a define for __user.
32 - Increase the MAX_SERIAL_LEN from 128 to 256, as some (possibly
33 broken devics) are returning very long id's
35 - Add spotless target (via Olaf Hering's udev patch)
37 - minor wording changes in scsi_id.config
39 - Log INQUIRY failure, including the failing page code and vpd
42 - Escape '-' with '\-' in the man page.
