Subject: [PATCH] udev-rules: make tape-changers also apprear in
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-path/

It is important to be able to access tape changer ("Medium Changers") by
|
|
|
be3800 |
persistant name.
|
|
|
be3800 |
While tape devices can be accessed via /dev/tape/by-id/ and
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-path/, tape-changers could only be accessed by
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-id/.
|
|
|
be3800 |
However, in some cases, especially when accessing Amazon Webservice
|
|
|
be3800 |
Storage Gateway VTLs (or accessing iSCSI VTLs in general?) this does not
|
|
|
be3800 |
work, as all tape devices and the tape changer have the same ENV{ID_SERIAL}.
|
|
|
be3800 |
The results is, that only the last device is available in
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-id/, as the former devices have been overwritten.
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
As this behavior is hard to change without breaking consistentcy,
|
|
|
be3800 |
this additional device in /dev/tape/by-path/ can be used to access the medium changes.
|
|
|
be3800 |
The tape devices can also be accessed by this path.
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
The content of the directory will now look like:
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
# SCSI tape device, rewind (unchanged)
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH} -> ../../st*
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
# SCSI tape device, no-rewind (unchanged)
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-nst -> ../../nst*
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
# SCSI tape changer device (newly added)
|
|
|
be3800 |
/dev/tape/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-changer -> ../../sg*
|
|
|
be3800 |
|
|
|
be3800 |
Tape devices and tape changer have different ID_PATHs.
|
|
|
be3800 |
SCSI tape changer get the suffix "-changer"
|
|
|
be3800 |
to make them better distinguishable from tape devices.
