Bug ID: 199155
Summary: /sys/block/dev/device/model truncates to 16 characters
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 4.4 to 4.16
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: SCSI
Assignee: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: seit...@gmail.com
Regression: No
When trying to determine the model of a disk to compare against an ordered BOM
I saw that this field was limited to 16 characters in:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.16-rc6/source/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c#L638
hdparm -I which uses an IOCTL obtains the full model name such as:
INTEL SSDSC2KB240G7
Where the sysfs entry says:
INTEL SSDSC2KB24
I don't know if this is a bug or if longer than 16 chars is out of spec.
Ideally sysfs would show the full model name if possible.
