Otherwise it will be 0 and the result of reading a discarded area is undefined. +What: /sys/block/<disk>/alias +Date: Aug 2011 +Contact: Nao Nishijima <nao.nishijima.xt@hitachi.com> +Description: + A raw device name of a disk does not always point a same disk + each boot-up time. Therefore, users have to use persistent + device names, which udev creates when the kernel finds a disk, + instead of raw device name. However, kernel doesn't show those + persistent names on its messages (e.g. dmesg). + This file can store an alias of the disk and it would be + appeared in kernel messages if it is set. A disk can have an + alias which length is up to 255bytes. Users can use alphabets, + numbers, "-" and "_" in alias name. This file is writeonce. |
