https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=299685 Summary: yast2 disk expects real directories in /sys/block while there could be symlinks Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 6 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: kasievers@novell.com ReportedBy: kasievers@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- /sys/block can be full of symlinks instead of directories. Everything in /sys can be validly replaced by a symlink, as long as the path is correct. Example here: /sys/block/ |-- loop0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop0 |-- loop1 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop1 |-- loop2 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop2 |-- loop3 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop3 |-- loop4 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop4 |-- loop5 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop5 |-- loop6 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop6 |-- loop7 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop7 |-- md0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/md0 |-- sda -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda |-- sdb -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sdb |-- sdc -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:1/block/sdc |-- sdd -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:2/block/sdd |-- sde -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:3/block/sde `-- sr0 -> ./devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/host4/target4:0:0/4:0:0:0/block/sr0 This must be fixed for upcoming changes.
