Howto change names of /dev/sg?

[Simon Brandmair]

Hello,

I would like to change the device names of the /dev/sg? devices.
/dev/sg0 is my hard drive, /dev/sg1 my cdrom drive. I would like them to
be /dev/sg1 and /dev/sg2.

If I understand it right, these names aren't given by udev, but by the
kernel, so a udev rule doesn't work.

Background: I have an encrypted usb stick (SafeStick), that - strangely
- requires to be /dev/sg0 in order to get decrypted.

Any ideas?
Simon

Ich vermute mal, dass man dazu im Kernel- Quelltext rummachen müsste...
*schauder*
Deine Devicenamen kommen mir komisch vor. Sind die Geräte an SATA
angeschlossen? Dann müsste die Platte sdNY heißen, die erste Partition
am ersten SATA- Anschluss hieße dann sda1. CDROMs heißen gerne mal sr0,
sr1 usw.

Kann es sein, dass du einen selbst gebauten Kernel hast, dem der Support
für SCSI- Platten fehlt?
