Yes, I just disagree with it being simpler for all busses/devices. I was thinking of the sys admin or a tool looking at the current /dev/disk/by-* and adding rule(s) based on those values to a udev rule file. And is there a way to rename or add /dev entries without removing and adding back a device? Using ID_BUS and ID_SERIAL via the following lines like this works: KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ENV{ID_BUS}=="scsi" ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="360a98000686f68656c6e7a416f4b6849", SYMLINK+="user/databaseA" KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]|dasd*[0-9]", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="360a98000686f68656c6e7a416f4b6849", SYMLINK+="user/databaseA-part%n" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ENV{ID_BUS}=="scsi" ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="360a98000686f68656c6e7a416f4b2f55", SYMLINK+="user/databaseB" KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="360a98000686f68656c6e7a416f4b2f55", SYMLINK+="user/databaseB-part%n" Adding the devices then creates: [root@elm3a49 rules.d]# ls -l /dev/user total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 1 17:46 databaseA -> ../sdm lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 1 17:47 databaseA-part1 -> ../sdm1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 1 17:46 databaseB -> ../sdi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 1 17:46 databaseB-part1 -> ../sdi1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 1 17:46 databaseB-part2 -> ../sdi2 -- Patrick Mansfield -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
