Udev (say 'scsi_id')?


The problem is I'm stumped how to 'prove' that.  Googling about 
didn't find anything
>useful. lsof doesn't show it (but also doesn't show any block 
special files, so I'm not surprised)

If it's created after boot then you could use file-system 
notification to try an catch file creation. For kernel 2.4 that'll 
be dnotify (eliott, dirwatch) and for 2.6 inotify (see example 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-inotify.html, you 
only need IN_CREATE_FILE) or use inotifywatch. If it's created on 
boot then you need to get in before the service or application 
starts. Then you could use Auditd with a watch rule on /dev/ 
('auditctl -w /dev/ -k watch-dev'). OTOH if it's Udev then maybe it 
has some debug or verbosity switches that enhance reporting.
