2012.08.11 Smythies: Hard disk attribute tree for 175-0ubuntu9 with launchpad 2761 changed to 2759: Command: doug@test-smy:~/udev$ udevadm info --attribute-walk --name=sda >sda2759.txt Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format. A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device and the attributes from one single parent device. looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda': KERNEL=="sda" SUBSYSTEM=="block" DRIVER=="" ATTR{range}=="16" ATTR{ext_range}=="256" ATTR{removable}=="0" ATTR{ro}=="0" ATTR{size}=="120103200" ATTR{alignment_offset}=="0" ATTR{discard_alignment}=="0" ATTR{capability}=="50" ATTR{stat}==" 1869494 4452 38018350 20968168 2426 2060 34566 174572 1 20696180 21117816" ATTR{inflight}==" 1 0" ATTR{events}=="" ATTR{events_async}=="" ATTR{events_poll_msecs}=="-1" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0': KERNELS=="0:0:0:0" SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" DRIVERS=="sd" ATTRS{device_blocked}=="0" ATTRS{type}=="0" ATTRS{scsi_level}=="6" ATTRS{vendor}=="ATA " ATTRS{model}=="Maxtor 6Y060L0 " ATTRS{rev}=="YAR4" ATTRS{state}=="running" ATTRS{timeout}=="30" ATTRS{iocounterbits}=="32" ATTRS{iorequest_cnt}=="0x1c926c" ATTRS{iodone_cnt}=="0x1c926b" ATTRS{ioerr_cnt}=="0x3" ATTRS{evt_media_change}=="0" ATTRS{dh_state}=="detached" ATTRS{queue_depth}=="1" ATTRS{queue_type}=="none" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/host0/target0:0:0': KERNELS=="target0:0:0" SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" DRIVERS=="" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/host0': KERNELS=="host0" SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" DRIVERS=="" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1': KERNELS=="0000:00:07.1" SUBSYSTEMS=="pci" DRIVERS=="ata_piix" ATTRS{vendor}=="0x8086" ATTRS{device}=="0x7010" ATTRS{subsystem_vendor}=="0x0000" ATTRS{subsystem_device}=="0x0000" ATTRS{class}=="0x010180" ATTRS{irq}=="0" ATTRS{local_cpus}=="ff" ATTRS{local_cpulist}=="0-7" ATTRS{dma_mask_bits}=="32" ATTRS{consistent_dma_mask_bits}=="32" ATTRS{broken_parity_status}=="0" ATTRS{msi_bus}=="" looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00': KERNELS=="pci0000:00" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS==""
