udev doesn't update the links to scsi disks properly.
Hi All,
udev doesn't update the links to scsi disks properly after removing and reinserting a disk, which means that disks can't be accessed automatically by using the same name. However after removing one disk physically and reinserting it we have the links below, note that kernel name changes but it shouldn't be a problem with udev, but it's not working and doesn't create the link for /dev/sdc. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jan 9 12:40 /dev/sdb -> scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/disc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jan 9 12:40 /dev/sdb1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/part1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jan 9 12:40 /dev/sdb2 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/part2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 9 12:47 /dev/sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jan 9 12:47 /dev/sdc1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jan 9 12:47 /dev/sdc2 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 After some investigation I found that udev rule for sdc doesn't match any of the rules in devfs.rules and related script never run.However partitions on the disks match and works fine. rules for:- /dev/sd[a-z] and /dev/sd[a-z][0-9]* BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK+="%k %c{2}" BUS="scsi", KERNEL="sd[a-z][0-9]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh %k %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK+="%k %c{2}" First rule doesn't match when the disk is inserted. Interestingly, when the udev is restarted it works.Kernel reports the device name correctly but there is a problem with the BUS name. It works with partitions but not with the main disk. Assuming that we'll only have sd[a-z] names from scsi bus I removed the BUS="scsi" rule from the first rule and it's working flawlessly. i am not sure is removing BUS option right method or not? could any one please help me in solveing this issue. Thanks |
can any one plese help me in that as i dont know much about udev.

I am not sure from your post if "it's working flawlessly", or there is still some sort of problem.
Anyway, this link http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html might help you understand the udev rule(s). |
