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