RE: Did you try devlabel

[Gary_Lerhaupt@Dell.com]

I haven't written the scsi hotplug patch but it should be trivial.  On all
storage hotplugs, at the very bottom of the add & remove calls, there should
be:

if [ -x /sbin/devlabel ]; then
	devlabel restart
fi

If you can think of a less intrusive method to get this kicked off on all
add/remove events, I am game.

Ah, that's very handy, I know lots of people that have been wanting that
for some time.  Does this also trigger on the SCSI disk add that I think
/sbin/hotplug gets called on in 2.5?

Yes, the UUIDs should soon be exported through driverfs, and that will
help you out a lot.  I think there are some SCSI developers working on
this right now.

Hm, as you are really only needing a hook into the existing hotplug
scripts to run your program, isn't there some generic way of doing this
already without needing a patch?

thanks,
