The SATA in the above is actually S + ATA, the 'S' is added to guarantee no overlap with page 83 names. For page 80 the output is concatenation of 'S', vendor, model, and page 80 result, For page 83 the output puts the id type as a prefix, so the name spaces for page 83 can't collide - they are mostly unique across a given id type, but not for vendor specific, hence we also add model + vendor for vendor specific. And for '-x', extra spaces are removed and then spaces converted to '_'. -- Patrick Mansfield - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
