From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Patrick Mansfield Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2003 23:18:10 +0000 Subject: [announce] scsi_id release 0.2 Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Version 0.2 of scsi_id is available at: http://www-124.ibm.com/storageio/scsi_id/scsi_id-0.2.tar.gz scsi_id is a program to generate a SCSI unique identifier for a given SCSI device. It is primarily for use with udev callout config entries. It can also be used for automatic multi-path configuration or device mapper configuration. Requires: - Linux kernel 2.6 - libsysfs 0.3.0 To use with udev, in short: Run scsi_id to dump determine the id, for example, for sda, run: /sbin/scsi_id -s /block/sda Take the resulting value (including white space) and use it as the ID in a udev CALLOUT entry, an example /etc/udev/udev.rules entry for one of my disk drives: CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id", ID="200609487340c78ac", NAME="diskf1" Major changes since the last release: - builds under udev and klibc (I'll post udev/Makefile changes I needed to get the build to work), does not build properly for udev without klibc because of sysfsutils include paths issue - fix a bug with config file options parsing not allocating space - added a man page Full list of changes: * Add a man page. * Set and use variables that might be passed down when built under udev (with or without klibc), don't set LDFLAGS or STRIP. * scsi_id.c, scsi_id.h: Fix a bad bug - when parsing file options, no space was allocated for the creation of the new argv[] strings. * scsi_id.c: Catch too long a line in the config file. * scsi_id.h: Add u8 typedef to avoid ummm scsi.h kernel header problem when built with klibc. * scsi_id.h: Add define of makedev() if built with klibc. * scsi_id.c: reset optind to 1 since klibc does not work if it is reset to zero. * scsi_id.c: remove fflush() as it is not needed, and is not supported by klibc. * scsi_serial.c: Make the functions do_scsi_page0_inquiry and do_scsi_page80_inquiry static. * scsi_id.c: Don't use syslog LOG_PID, as it is not supported by klibc. * scsi_id.c, scsi_serial.c: Hack - change include path to libsysfs if built under klibc. * Makefile: Use "override" for CFLAGS so we can pass CFLAGS values down when built with udev * scsi_id.c, Makefile: Use SCSI_ID_VERSION instead of VERSION. * scsi_id.c: Remove getopt_long (long option names), as there is no support for that in klibc. * scsi_id.c: Patch from Brian King : check result of setting model, not vendor in per_dev_options. * scsi_id.c, scsi_serial.c: Use new and correct path to libsysfs.h. * scsi_id.h: Fix scsi_id.h so var args in macros works ok with older gcc.
