Hallo David!I'm trying to use mdev to create some unique device file names and would like to use the obvious choice of a serial number, however, that information doesn't appear in any of the env output from mdev. Does anyone know of a way to obtain this information via mdev? I've also looked at hdparm, but it doesn't appear to work with USB drives and I need a universal solution. Any help would greatly be appreciated.Can you give some examples on how you want your devices named? I formerly used a script called from mdev and used small regular files stored on the temporary device file system (in a subdirectory) to hold counts and other name informations. Indeed not the nicest approach, but works fast and reliable. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
Hey Harald, thanks for the reply. If I can gain access to the serial numbers of the drive, I'd just create a symlink with that being the name of the file. In the absence of a serial number (since it's not detectable in all scenarios), I'd probably default to some other types of info (e.g. manufacturer, model #, etc). Perhaps a peek into your file might help as I'm also using mdev to call an external script for processing.
