Hi
scsi_id doesn't seem to like sg's any more.

scsi_id is working, as shown..

scsi_id --whitelisted --export --page=0x80 --device=/dev/sda
ID_VENDOR=ATA
ID_MODEL=WDC_WD1600BB-22G
ID_REVISION.0
ID_SERIAL=SATA_WDC_WD1600BB-22_WD-WCAL98082576
ID_SERIAL_SHORT=WD-WCAL98082576
ID_TYPE=disk



but try that on a generic..

gatekeeper / # scsi_id --whitelisted --export --page=0x80 --device=/dev/sg1
gatekeeper / # scsi_id --whitelisted --export --page=0x80 --device=/dev/sg2
gatekeeper / # scsi_id --whitelisted --export --page=0x80 --device=/dev/sg3


nothing.

sg1 is my autochanger, which is unfortunate, as it makes this rule not work:

# type 8 devices are "Medium Changers"
KERNEL="sg[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEMS="scsi", ATTRS{type}="8", 
IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --export --whitelisted -d $tempnode", 
SYMLINK+="tape/by-id/scsi-$env{ID_SERIAL}"


I know something has changed wrt to generics, perhaps the rule needs to 
be updated, and the docs as well.

Regards,

john
