Why not make it act like persistent-storage and persistent-input, and add symlinks? The persistent-net stuff can't do that because there is no such thing as a symlink to a net_device (and even if there was, the IFNAMSIZ constant in the kernel is too small to handle the longer names this would generate, and IFNAMSIZ is part of the userspace ABI). The persistent-cd stuff can't do that because its symlinks are named e.g. "cdrom1", and don't have the serial # or path in them, and it needs to have "cdrom1" always be the same device. But persistent-storage creates a /dev/disk/by-id/ link that's named with the disk's SCSI or ATA (or whatever) identifying information, along with several other /dev/disk/by-*/ links using other info. I don't see any reason you couldn't do the same with e.g. /dev/ttyUSB/by-path/ and /dev/ttyUSB/by-id/ links. Of course ttyUSB could change; that's just the first name that came to mind. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIbLS4S5vET1Wea5wRAxdcAJ9utojzdBFUjYi4p7OsiKq1qyY4NwCg1FvS pD+srRu2KkfYhmeqk8Ka+j4= =l1PR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
