Hi,
I wanted to verify/clarify what would be an acceptable format for a disk id to
be used as a search parameter for a module to return the associated device.
Where on Linux, devices are mapped to a hardware specific path.
For hard disks it is
type-product_serial(-partition#)
ata-ST42443343DR_6GE23Y09
ata-ST42443343DR_6GE23Y09-part1
But for a USB flash drive it is
type-vendor_product_serial-(?physical id?)-(part#)
usb-SanDisk_Ultra_4E53324345657878876543-0:0-part1
where product = model name
Would it be okay to shorten this for USB flash drive to
type-product_serial-(part#) ?
usb-Ultra_4E53324345657878876543-part1
To help keep it to a minimal amount of characters the user would have to type.
While ensuring the shortened version would not impact its reliability to return
the correct device. Even the 'type' could be removed if that is okay with you?
Best regards,
Matt
