Will your solution preserve read only attributes? I.e. if you bring all dasd online with a single udev rule, will those linked as read only have the correct read only attributes so the kernel knows that it cannot write to them?
Example of what I mean by correct read only attributes: > vmcp q v dasd DASD 0200 3390 VMBL1V R/W 353 CYL ON DASD 8460 SUBCHANNEL = 0001 DASD 0201 3390 VMBL1J R/O 683 CYL ON DASD 845C SUBCHANNEL = 0002 > lsdasd Bus-ID Status Name Device Type BlkSz Size Blocks ============================================================================== 0.0.0200 active dasda 94:0 ECKD 4096 248MB 63540 0.0.0201 active(ro) dasdb 94:4 ECKD 4096 480MB 122940 We have ran into the same problem you are describing and ended up making individual rules for each dasd (e.g. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-dasd-0.0.0200.rules) to preserve read only attributes. But we are new to SUSE and haven't experimented with a single rule for all dasd which is why I am curious.
