edd_id8
Udev callout to identify bios disk drives via edd
Usage
edd_id [--export]
blockdevice
Overview
edd_id is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the edd id for a BIOS disk drive. Udev can use this information to create symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id and /dev/disk/by-label to the real device node.
Usage
edd_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline and prints the information chosen by the options.
Options
The following commandline switches are supported to specify what edd_id should print:
-
--export -
print all values (instead of only the id)
