How can I get serial_no from usb-attached HD drive ?
use the *_id programs that come with udev, they show you how to properly
do that.
Only "advanced" ATA-USB bridges will offer you the serial number the
adapter reads from the disk on power-up. The usual id-tools will just
work fine on theses bridges.
There is no way to reach that information with most of the cheap USB
storage-adapters.
