I was just doing that. Does the following make sense to you? >From say: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 We know what host bus target and lun are, so we can try and parse /proc/scsi/scsi down to a list of ^Host lines for scsi disks. Then we'd just need to find the right line.. Hmm -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
