Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] Improve SCSI volume key generation

An update of patch 10 from: http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-November/msg00555.html The SCSI volumes get a better 'key' field based on the fully qualified volume path. All SCSI volumes have a unique serial available in hardware which can be obtained by sending a suitable SCSI command. Call out to udev's 'scsi_id' command to fetch this value +static char * +virStorageBackendSCSISerial(const char *dev) +{ + char *serial = NULL; +#ifdef HAVE_UDEV + int fd = -1; + FILE *list = NULL; + char line[1024]; + virCommandPtr cmd = virCommandNewArgList( + "/lib/udev/scsi_id", + "--replace-whitespace", + "--whitelisted", + "--device", dev, + NULL + ); + + /* Run the program and capture its output */ + virCommandSetOutputFD(cmd, &fd);
