In /proc/bus/usb/devices, I see a "SerialNumber" attribute. My USB Maxtor's serial number is Y625M91E. I only have one disk, so I don't know whether that's unique. (One would hope so...) If not, you could uniquely identify disks with volume labels or if you're using LVM, each PV has a globally unique ID. Let us know what you find out. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
