I see two problems: 1. AFAIK it is not possible to disable device creation in udev/rules.d/ 2. It is not possible to identify device by serial number in udev. When I run: udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdak) , it does not show me serial or other identifying information. I need to get rid of this device because I'm sharing one disk array between two servers and both of them see all devices in the array. I want to make sure the two servers are not accessing the drives simultaneously. -Stefan
