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.
