[opensuse] PATA vs. SATA: which port is device on?
Following is output from 3 machines: hwinfo --cdrom: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-big31.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-fi965.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/hwinfocdrom-gx270.txt /proc/scsi: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-big31.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-fi965.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/Linux/scsi-gx270.txt In all 3's hwinfo output, the OM device is reported to be on IDE interface, which for at least one of the three is an outright lie (AD-7200S is SATA). I didn't know all to start with, which is why the question, though I do now know from seeing these particular model numbers. Ignoring whatever information can be discovered or inferred from device model numbers or names, how can one determine whether a device is connected to a PATA port or an SATA port? Is there something from cmdline better than hwinfo or /proc/scsi to find this out? Would use of a PATA to SATA or vice versa converter produce an erroneous report? -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

Thanks for your reply. First I put it in a script. Then I tried it on a fresh M2 install on a system with no attached SATA devices, and got: "00:09.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation nForce2 IDE (rev a2)". That seems reasonable. I also tried it on an 11.0 install on a i965/ICH8 system with no attached PATA devices, and got no output. Any ideas why?

It's difficult to tell without the output from 'hwinfo --cdrom' and 'lspci'.

I tried it on your big31.txt file - it won't output anything as I don't have your lspci output, but otherwise it worked just fine. Ditto for fi965.txt and gx270.txt.

Hmm, the ICH8 chip does both SATA and PATA - I'm surprised they don't show up as separate PCI entities, but as they don't, I think you need some ICH8-specific utility to tell you whether a device is connected as PATA or SATA.

Try 'lspci -v'. Does that show subdevices or some such? Otherwise, you
could try to rummage about in /sys/ (and/or /proc), if there is any
stuff by which you can discern ICH8 PATA from ICH8 SATA...
BTW: what's the lcpci line for the SATA stuff, is it 'IDE interface'
after the PCI-ID too? With an AMD 770 Chipset you get:

both are "onboard" in the ATI/AMD SB700 (SB710?) "Southbridge" (like
the ICH). With IDE-mode instead of ahci, IIRC the module would be some
sata_* module. So, have a look at what shows up as "Kernel driver"
with your ICH8. Oh, and you could also have a look at the 'lspci [-v]
-n' output if (sub-) IDs differ. AFAIR, they should.

Once you have those characteristics, you should be able to enhance my

IIRC, 11.0 did not yet use libata for IDE/PATA as well. So, you won't get PATA devices with the SCSI-paths in /dev/by-path/. On those machines, you can discern between PATA and SATA easily anyway, just have a look at /proc/ide/hd*/model or with a different pattern under /dev/by-path/.

You're not RC. Legacy is/was an option, but not applicable for this machine.
So, you won't get PATA devices with the SCSI-paths in /dev/by-path/.
When would OM devices be in /dev/disk/by-path? I don't seen any there.
On those machines, you can discern between PATA and SATA easily anyway, just have a look at /proc/ide/hd*/model
/proc/ide/hd* does not exist
or with a different pattern under /dev/by-path/.
