Detecting firewire disks

Detecting firewire disks

[Måns Rullgård]

I'd like to detect whether a SCSI disk is really a firewire disk and
create some udev links.  Where should I look for such information?
For USB flash disks I looked at the sysfs vendor and model files, but
for firewire disks these return the model of the actual disk, rather
than the firewire interface.

Follow the device link in sysfs.  udev needs to be changed to be able to
follow up the device tree to look at attributes in different bus types.
Work on this will be forthcoming soon.
