Using virtio-blk serial attributes add rules to extract drive serial numbers and generate by-id links for the block device and partitions.
With these rules added, we now see the following symlinks in disk/by-id % ls -al /dev/disk/by-id | grep vdb lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 1 22:09 virtio-QM00001 -> ../../vda lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Jun 1 22:09 virtio-QM00001-part1 -> ../../vda1 Signed-off-by: Ryan Harper <ry...@us.ibm.com> --- rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules | 4 ++++ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules b/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules index 1f46041..6449e07 100644 --- a/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules +++ b/rules/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules @@ -18,6 +18,10 @@ TEST=="whole_disk", GOTO="persistent_storage_end" # for partitions import parent information ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", IMPORT{parent}="ID_*" +# virtio-blk +KERNEL=="vd*[!0-9]", ATTRS{serial}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}="$attr{serial}", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/virtio-$env{ID_SERIAL}" +KERNEL=="vd*[0-9]", ATTRS{serial}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}="$attr{serial}", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/virtio-$env{ID_SERIAL}-part%n" + # USB devices use their own serial number KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}!="?*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", IMPORT{program}="usb_id --export %p" # ATA devices with their own "ata" kernel subsystem -- 1.6.3.3
