Steve: Thanks for the reply. I must be unusually dense tonight as I don't see anything that provides a working answer to my question. I see tons of stuff about hotplug and node naming, but nothing about tying the device info to the device node. It probably doesn't help here that /sys/class/usb is not populating with any information at all from the device. The device is a simple Memorex Flash Drive (key drive) - well supported by the kernel (2.6.17.13). Let me restate the question please: If I have 2 SCSI drives in a system (USB or SCSI based), I need to know which drive has which serial number, model, manufacturer, etc... I can find all kinds of information about the devices that are on the bus, but I can't find anything that tells me which node that device is. Yes, that information shows up in dmesg, but that information is too fleeting. I need something with persistence. Right now, the only way I can see to do this is to do a kernel patch (causing the major/minor numbers to be reported in procfs and/or sysfs). I really don't want to go down that road if at all possible. Thanks!
