Hi,
I have a problem with udev persistent device naming for SATA drives that
is caused by the libata implementation of the page 0x83 SCSI device
identifier query. See this thead from hotplug-devel:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113518947900002&r=1&w=2
I can work around the problem using /etc/scsi_id.config or udev rules
(see the thread), but here is a patch to fix the problem at source. What
do you think?
Regards,
Chris.

Douglas Gilbert has an improved patch along these lines...
