So you will end up with both sets of device entries. Now, as for the order problem, you may need to change the program from "/sbin/scsi_id -g -u" to "/sbin/scsi_id -d %N -s %p" or "/sbin/scsi_id -d %N -s %p -g -u". What I suspect is happening is that scsi_id is not returning what you expect. From the scsi_id man page: scsi_id is one of the tools used in the "Linux Persistent Device Names" scheme that creates persistent device links in /dev/disk. It is called with the -x option which will print all values in a defined format to let udev import it into its own environment for later event processing. An example custom udev rule using scsi_id, that will name a block device and any partitions for the device matching the scsi_id output of 312345: BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id -d %N -s %p", RESULT=="312345", NAME="disk%n" Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
