The TEST key accepts an optional mode mask +TEST{0100}=="<is executable file>". + +Scsi_id now supports a mode without expecting scsi-specific sysfs +entries to allow the extraction of cciss-device persistent properties. + udev 111 ======== Bugfixes. In the future, we may see uuid's which are just simple character strings (see the DDF Raid Specification). For that reason vol_id now -exports ID_UUID_SAFE, just like ID_LABEL_SAFE. For things like +exports ID_FS_UUID_SAFE, just like ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE. For things like the creation of symlinks, the *_SAFE values ensure, that no control or whitespace characters are used in the filename. |
