Ive asked this question several different ways before, and have yet
to get an answer to the underlying question/problem.
The question is this.
If a user plugs in a USB/Memory device, how can he find out which
SCSI port its going to appear on?
---
The only place I see a correspondence between the USB device (name)
and the SCSI port is in
/proc/scsi/scsi
But these entries are 'long-lived' (WHY?) they never go away. So if
I have more than one type of USB/Memory device (I do) there is no way
to tell which one is attached now.
---
One can determine WHICH USB/Memory device is attached by looking at
either
/proc/scsi/usb-storage-m/n
where m and n are integers, and look for the 'Attached: Yes/No' line,
or at the file
/proc/bus/usb/devices
but there is no connection between these entries and those in
/proc/scsi/scsi. That is to say, even the Manufacturer/Product name
is different in the two places, and while the serial number appears
in /proc/bus/usb/devices and in /proc/scsi/usb-memory-m/n, it doesn't
appear in /proc/scsi/scsi.
---
If I could get back to the 'correct' /proc/scsi/scsi entry, then at
least if I were running devfs, I could get to the device (without
devfs, one still appears to be up a creek)
---
So, am I missing something?
Is there another way to do this?
This is all with kernel 2.4.19, is there better information in the
/proc files of a later release?
I really would like to plug in a device, and be able to find out where it is
so that I can mount it.
