Correct.
IDE support is easy.
Adding SCSI support is more complicated, because "model" and "serial"
are not the only factors that can make up a /dev/disk/by-id link
Could be a combination of 3 fields: vendor, model and serial.
But could also be based on another unique ascii or binary identifier
provided by the drive through Vital Product Data page 83h.
I am going to add customization of VPD page 83h soonish (though only
limited to another ASCII identifier), and Dmitry Fleytman told me
offlist that he's going to add vendor/model support too.
Nice
That said, I agree with the other comments from Markus.
Fair enough.
You guys outnumber me, so I will resubmit my IDE patch without the
legacy -drive support.
Yours sincerely,
Floris Bos
