All, What is the kernel API for retrieving the S/N for a thumbdrive? I've tried the userspace tools hdparm and sdparm with no luck. Apparently the kernel APIs they use don't support a thumbdrive. ie. Basically neither one is giving me much of anything for a thumbdrive. I've found sysfs has the Manufacturer & Model, but I have not found a way to get the serial number. FYI: It is in the dmesg output immediately after plugging in a new thumbdrive, so I know it is retrieved.
