Subject: [gentoo-server] Help with migrating from devfs to udev

1 Hello,
2
3 We currently use the /dev/scsi/host/bus/target/lun/ naming schema from
4 devfs. We now need multipath support and thus require upgrading to udev
5 for this purpose. Once we upgraded to udev, we found that there is no
6 longer a /dev/scsi/* hiarchy. Is there a udev naming scheme
7 besides /dev/sd*? /dev/sd* naming is unreliable for us as the number of
8 devices change from time to time, thus anything which uses /dev/sd*
9 naming will be accessing the wrong device.
10
11 Is there a naming scheme for udev that lets us access a device by its
12 physical location or is there a set of rules that will create devices
13 for us in this manner?
14
15 I appreciate the help.
