Yeah, there are a whole bunch more IDs that ought to be available
when making such decisions. USB serial numbers for one, and also
"physical" IDs that don't change until you physically re-cable
the device or subsystem. (And there are other labels ...)
2.5 has a kind of physical device ID available: the sysfs path
of the device. (It's less stable than it should be ... but that
can be improved.) Bus or class level hotplug agents can use
/sys/$DEVPATH to see more info about the devices ... which I'll
suspect doesn't cover much of the data that'd be important to user
mode tools like devlabel or usb-mount.
I'm not sure what's up with "disk hotplug" (wasn't there a disk
"class" a while back?) or how it might relate to the /sys/block
stuff that I see lately. Would someone working in that area have
any insights to share -- Pat, Greg? :)
