RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Justin Clift 2010-05-25 06:26:19 UTC
Description of problem:

While building udev rules, noticing the "BUS" key word used in some of the shipped udev rules is not documented in the udev man page.

For example:

  $ grep BUS /lib/udev/rules.d/40-redhat.rules
  ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="3|6", SYMLINK+="scanner scanner-%k", MODE="0660"
  ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sg[0-9]*", BUS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="8", SYMLINK+="changer changer-%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="disk"
  BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="08", ATTRS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", GROUP="floppy", MODE="0660", 	SYMLINK+="floppy floppy-%k"
  $

I'm trying to develop a working rule for single path iSCSI storage so it can be documented.  However the existing example in the virtualisation guide uses BUS (plus others) and isn't working "out of the box".  As BUS isn't documented, it's leaving me wondering if that needs to be changed to SUBSYSTEM or something.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -qa | grep udev
udev-debuginfo-147-2.6.el6.x86_64
libudev-147-2.6.el6.x86_64
libgudev1-147-2.6.el6.x86_64
udev-147-2.6.el6.x86_64
$


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. n/a
2.
3.

Actual results:

Undocumented udev key word, making me wonder if the shipped rules files are wrong, or if the man page is incomplete.


Expected results:

All available udev key words documented.

BUS is obsolete... use SUBSYSTEM(s)
