The ide layer does not create the expected "driver" link at the
physical device in sysfs.
Here is the block device:
[root@pim ~]# ls -l /sys/block/hda
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Mar 4 21:25 dev
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 4 21:25 device -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0
The physical device misses the "driver" link:
[root@pim ~]# ls -l '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0'
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 5 14:35 block -> ../../../../../block/hda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mar 4 21:25 bus -> ../../../../../bus/ide
Also the entries below the drivers directory are missing in /sys/bus:
[root@pim ~]# tree /sys/bus/ide/
/sys/bus/ide
|-- devices
| |-- 0.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide0/0.0
| `-- 1.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide1/1.0
`-- drivers
|-- ide-cdrom
`-- ide-disk
Here is the example of a scsi block device, which looks as expected:
[root@pim ~]# tree /sys/bus/scsi
/sys/bus/scsi
|-- devices
| `-- 2:0:0:0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0
`-- drivers
`-- sd
`-- 2:0:0:0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0
It would be nice, if this can be fixed, as userspace like udev and HAL
expects these values to show up.
Thanks,
Kay
