Re: Persistent naming with UDEV and EMC's Powerpath

Hi Stevan,

I saw this in some examples, but somehow it just don't work for me :

# /sbin/scsi_id -g -s /block/emcpowerf
Cannot find sysfs device associated with /sys/block/emcpowerf
#



Weird.. A guy from EMC just sent me something that will fit just perfect. I'll share with the entire list.

Regards,
