Hi,
I've a couple of SATA controllers, say with driver 'sata_sil24'. What i
would need is to have symlinks for the SATA drives to appear like:
/dev/disk/controller0/sdf -> /dev/sdf
/dev/disk/controller0/sdf1 -> /dev/sdf1
/dev/disk/controller0/sdad -> /dev/sdad
/dev/disk/controller0/sdad1 -> /dev/sdad1
...
Very simple. For starters I tried to do even just the single SATA
controller card thing i.e. not 'controller[0-9]' just 'controller'.
/dev/disk/controller/sdf -> /dev/sdf
/dev/disk/controller/sdf1 -> /dev/sdf1
/dev/disk/controller/sdad -> /dev/sdad
/dev/disk/controller/sdad1 -> /dev/sdad1
Very very similar to /dev/disk/by-id/ really.
But I've tried this for the best part of an hour to do this, my udev rules
just don't work fully, either they can match that it is SATA/sd or that
the module is 'sata_sil24', etc, but then for figuring out the symlink
target i always hit the limit of only one parent device allowed.
Can anyone throw in a quick incantation for this?
(the point is to have this grouping mainly for operator aid, when once
again re-creating one of the several raids on the test system, and then
discerning which disks are behind on-board sata and which are behind one
or several same/different pcie sata controllers)
