Description of problem: I have several systems with SCSI Medium Changers (auto-loaders, tape libraries) attached. Up to and including Fedora 12 udev would create a "/dev/changer" symbolic link pointing to the specific /dev/sg* device. After updating these systems to Fedora 13, these links are missing on all systems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-151-9.fc13.i686, udev-151-9.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a system with a SCSI Medium Changer attached 2. Check that the console log contains output similar to this: ... ch0: type #1 (mt): 0x0+1 [medium transport] ch0: type #2 (st): 0x1+7 [storage] ch0: type #3 (ie): 0x0+0 [import/export] ch0: type #4 (dt): 0xf0+1 [data transfer] ch0: dt 0xf0: READ ELEMENT STATUS failed ch0: INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS, may take some time ... ch0: ... finished ch 10:0:4:0: Attached scsi changer ch0 ch 10:0:4:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 8 ... 3. Check if the /dev/changer link is there: # ls -l /dev/chang* ls: cannot access /dev/chang*: No such file or directory Actual results: Link is missing. Expected results: Normally, /lib/udev/rules.d/40-redhat.rules would detect that a SCSI type 8 device is there and create symlinks (in the example above, "/dev/changer" and "/dev/changer-sg6"). Additional info:
Does it work if you change SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device" to SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic" in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-redhat.rules ?
Indeed - using SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic" works fine for me. Thanks a lot!
