'udev' output format is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of util-linux. Starting to support it now is a clear waste of time. > 2. In udev format output for all devices, there is no devname displayed. Without devname, its unclear grouping. Is there a plan to add devname in udev format output? For above reasons, unlikely. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
