The script is not - installed but is part of the tarball. + - Fix the gen_scsi_id_udev_rules.sh to handle spaces in the id. -Detailed changes: + - Don't supply a makedev() when built with klibc. Also, the + scsi_id supplied makedev() was using the old major/minor method. - - Add man page verbage about usage with udev, and running via - hotplug + - Include compiler.h so we can build against klibc, as recent sg.h + changes need a define for __user. - - Disable support for -e (all output to stderr) as it cannot be - used in any useful way, and the -c (device specific callout) as - the code is incomplete and has no users. +Other changes: - - Don't print errno for NULL return from sysfs_get_classdev_device. + - Increase the MAX_SERIAL_LEN from 128 to 256, as some (possibly + broken devics) are returning very long id's - - Get rid of dead/leftover code that checked if we are on a scsi - bus. + - Add spotless target (via Olaf Hering's udev patch) - - ":" consistently in output messages. + - minor wording changes in scsi_id.config - - Add missing new lines for some error messages. + - Log INQUIRY failure, including the failing page code and vpd + values - - open O_NONBLOCK so we handle tape drives without tapes loaded. - - - Remove hacks based on KLIBC define to get around problems when - building with udev (udev libsysfs files were rearranged). - - - As done in udev code, support partitions via looking for a - parent of the target path. Uses libsysfs functions to do most of - the work, and includes changing a lot of variables to be struct - sysfs_device instead of sysfs_class_device. + - Escape '-' with '\-' in the man page. |
