So far, we've seen that only for very cheap devices, not something with a brand name on it. Usually, the different ports on a card reader have different names: /dev/disk/ |-- by-id | |-- usb-_CF_TS-RD13_000000002511 -> ../../sdb | |-- usb-_MS_TS-RD13_000000002511 -> ../../sdd | |-- usb-_SD_TS-RD13_000000002511 -> ../../sdc | `-- usb-_XD_TS-RD13_000000002511 -> ../../sde ... |-- by-path | |-- pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:3:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 -> ../../sdb | |-- pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:3:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1 -> ../../sdc | |-- pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:3:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:2 -> ../../sdd | |-- pci-0000:00:1d.7-usb-0:3:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:3 -> ../../sde ... Hmm, we could add the SCSI-LUN number, like we do in path_id. Hannes, any idea what's the best fix for it? Thanks, Kay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
