I've already investigated this path. Here's a summary...
I have two identical devices - lets call them A and B to save any
confusion.
1) Plug in device A:
viking2:~ % cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Neodio Technologies Corp.
Product: Neodio USB Storage Device
Serial Number: 0AEC501000001A002
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0aec5010aec501000001a002
Attached: Yes
2) Unplug device A and plug it in again - note the serial and GUID
are based on the same attributes - the vendor, product and bus
location.
viking2:~ % cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Neodio Technologies Corp.
Product: Neodio USB Storage Device
Serial Number: 0AEC501000001A003
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0aec5010aec501000001a003
Attached: Yes
3) Plug in device B - note that it has the Serial and GUID we saw
in step (1) above.
viking2:~ % cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-1/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Neodio Technologies Corp.
Product: Neodio USB Storage Device
Serial Number: 0AEC501000001A002
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0aec5010aec501000001a002
Attached: Yes
4) Unplug device B and plug it in again- note it now has the same
serial and GUID as device A which is still plugged in.
viking2:~ % cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-1/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Neodio Technologies Corp.
Product: Neodio USB Storage Device
Serial Number: 0AEC501000001A003
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0aec5010aec501000001a003
Attached: Yes
viking2:~ % cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: Neodio Technologies Corp.
Product: Neodio USB Storage Device
Serial Number: 0AEC501000001A003
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: Bulk
GUID: 0aec5010aec501000001a003
Attached: Yes
Not very nice. I guess the scsi device id could be added
to the serial or GUID to provide a unique identifier that
will last as long as the device is plugged in.
