scsi "target1:0:0"

[Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>]

Hi,
the recent change to the scsi-sysfs interface broke the operation of
HAL:
  http://hal.freedesktop.org
  http://vrfy.org/projects/hal/HAL-fs-uuid-udi.png
  http://vrfy.org/projects/hal/hal-spec.html

We got an additional directory in the /devices directory which
changed:
  /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host1/1:0:0:0

to:
  /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0

The inserted "target1:0:0" is _not_ backed by any "bus" or "class" device
and therefore breaks the logic of HAL to bring the devices together by
its parent. (We also don't get hotplug events for the "target*" device at
creation time)

Is this intentional and we can not expected a straight chain of devices
anymore like it always was? Shouldn't there be a "class" device to have
it consistent again.

It's the usb-storage driver with an usb-stick.

Thanks,
Kay
