How does one know what the vendor > string is for example? 1) This is not for parsing, it's informational for users. Do tools really still parse through /var/log/dmesg? 2) This information is available other ways, such as through sysfs and procfs. 3) I know it's not obvious from the above example (damn HP firmware), but these are actually fixed-size fields. The first is 8 bytes, "HP 18.2G" the second 16 bytes are "ATLAS10K3_18_SCA", the third is "HP05" and then the ANSI ver is at the end. - : 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
