Add enclosure_symlinks option to vdev_id
Add an 'enclosure_symlinks' option to vdev_id.conf. This creates consistently named symlinks to the enclosure devices (/dev/sg*) based off the configuration in vdev_id.conf. The enclosure symlinks show up in /dev/by-enclosure/<prefix>-<channel><num>. The links make it make it easy to run sg_ses on a particular enclosure device. The enclosure links are created in addition to the normal /dev/disk/by-vdev links. 'enclosure_symlinks' is only valid in sas_direct configurations. Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Guest <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tony Hutter <[email protected]> Closes #8194
