This patch series provides updates to udev to allow the creation symlinks for virtio-blk devices, specifically disk/by-id and disk/by-path. This is most useful for virtio-blk devices that do not yet have any filesystem for which a UUID can be extracted (disk/by-uuid). These patches (save the path_id fix) require an updated[1] qemu (on the host) and virtio-blk (in the guest) to generate the by-id path; however if the guest or host qemu isn't capable then no action is taken.
Changes since v1: - Switch ID_VIRTIO_SERIAL to ID_SERIAL - Switched IOCTL_CMD to use numeric value - Add ID_SERIAL_SHORT - Update persistent-storage rules to use ID_SERIAL for virtioblk_id 1. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-03/msg01869.html Signed-off-by: Ryan Harper <ry...@us.ibm.com>
