I suppose you should be able to address this issue by using /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_DeLOCK*[A-Z0-9_][A-Z0-9_][A-Z0-9_] but obviously this isn't exactly beautiful. It might be easier if we instead permitted arbitrary perl regular expressions, but then again we might still want to add some improvements to help you configure your other 12-48 disks. I'd be happy to take inputs on this, I think this feature has hardly been used before. Best, Michael
