Hi,

I have a problem with udev persistent device naming for SATA drives that 
is caused by the libata implementation of the page 0x83 SCSI device 
identifier query. See this thead from hotplug-devel:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113518947900002&r=1&w=2

I can work around the problem using /etc/scsi_id.config or udev rules 
(see the thread), but here is a patch to fix the problem at source. What 
do you think?

Regards,
Chris.
