Subject: [PATCH] udev-rules: make tape-changers also apprear in |
|
/dev/tape/by-path/ |
|
|
|
It is important to be able to access tape changer ("Medium Changers") by |
|
persistant name. |
|
While tape devices can be accessed via /dev/tape/by-id/ and |
|
/dev/tape/by-path/, tape-changers could only be accessed by |
|
/dev/tape/by-id/. |
|
However, in some cases, especially when accessing Amazon Webservice |
|
Storage Gateway VTLs (or accessing iSCSI VTLs in general?) this does not |
|
work, as all tape devices and the tape changer have the same ENV{ID_SERIAL}. |
|
The results is, that only the last device is available in |
|
/dev/tape/by-id/, as the former devices have been overwritten. |
|
|
|
As this behavior is hard to change without breaking consistentcy, |
|
this additional device in /dev/tape/by-path/ can be used to access the medium changes. |
|
The tape devices can also be accessed by this path. |
|
|
|
The content of the directory will now look like: |
|
|
|
# SCSI tape device, rewind (unchanged) |
|
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH} -> ../../st* |
|
|
|
# SCSI tape device, no-rewind (unchanged) |
|
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-nst -> ../../nst* |
|
|
|
# SCSI tape changer device (newly added) |
|
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-changer -> ../../sg* |
|
|
|
Tape devices and tape changer have different ID_PATHs. |
|
SCSI tape changer get the suffix "-changer" |
|
to make them better distinguishable from tape devices. |
|
|
