scsi_id is a program to generate a unique identifier for a given SCSI
device.

want persistent naming of scsi devices. It could also be used for
automatic multi-path configuration or device mapper configuration.
-Version 0.5 requires:
+Requires:
- Linux kernel 2.6
- libsysfs 0.4.0
Major changes since the last release:
+
+ - add -u option, patch from Christoph Varoqui, to substitute white
+ space with underscores so it is easier to use the output as a
+ device name.
- - Ken Brush <ken@cgi101.com> have the command line options
- override generic options.
+ - Use 254 bytes for SCSI INQUIRY commands, patch from Hannes
+ Reinecke.
- - Fix the gen_scsi_id_udev_rules.sh to handle spaces in the id.
-
- - Don't supply a makedev() when built with klibc. Also, the
- scsi_id supplied makedev() was using the old major/minor method.
-
- - Include compiler.h so we can build against klibc, as recent sg.h
- changes need a define for __user.
-
-Other changes:
-
- - Increase the MAX_SERIAL_LEN from 128 to 256, as some (possibly
- broken devics) are returning very long id's
-
- - Add spotless target (via Olaf Hering's udev patch)
-
- - minor wording changes in scsi_id.config
-
- - Log INQUIRY failure, including the failing page code and vpd
- values
-
- - Escape '-' with '\-' in the man page.
