> And, a descriptive string put in the name, rather than the id, such as: > scsi disk [I changed the Subject line "Re: inquiry in scsi_scan.c" since people are still discussing devices with a buggy INQUIRY response; maybe unnecessarily - all details are well understood, and patches fixing all problems have been posted, but in any case it is best to separate both threads.] Maybe I should ask you to explain more in detail what purpose you have in mind. If I read your code and hear you talking it sounds like you would like to have a string identifying the device. But in many cases no such string exists. Moreover, what precisely is "the device"? If I have a Compact Flash card reader and read CF cards, is the device the reader? Or the card? Or the combination? If I have an Imation FlashGo! reader, and insert a SmartMedia adapter, and read a SmartMedia card, is the device the reader, the reader plus adapter, the card? If the device is the reader, then it will have a different size, partitioning and contents each time we see it. If the device is the card, then we need a different driver each time we see it. What do you want to recognize with this ID, and why?
