take note of the example shown under 'serial'.
These were my thoughts too.
But I just checked the entries in my sysfs tree for my CDRW drive,
and there is no serial number available...
BTW: an implementation that uses something like Solaris does with
/etc/path_to_inst and puts USB serial numbers into the path_to_inst
kernel instance database could come very close to the desired result
and would give stable SCSI addresses too.
But why fix what isn't broken? I can tell all my other programs, from
dd to mount, that I want to use the udev-created /dev/green_burner, so
why do you indicate such usage is _deprecated_ in cdrecord? For such
device nodes, a _filesystem_ is the preferred name=>number index, so
why add an extra strange file "just because Solaris does".
And why again do you need stable SCSI addresses for my _USB_ drive?
