With current SATA, PATA and at least some USB disks,
Linux reports Vendor: $subsystem, instead of the actual
vendor of the drive, like this:
scsi1 : ata_piix
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3808110AS Rev: n/a
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
This should be Vendor: Seagate, not ATA (Note also the lack
of "Revision" field). The same for PATA disk:
scsi0 : pata_via
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3120026A Rev: 3.76
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
The same is shown in /sys/block/$DEV/device/vendor.
Can it be changed to show real vendor, instead of the subsystem name?
No. Two reasons:
* ATA doesn't export the vendor separate from the model, and in some
cases (Seagate) it isn't present at all, anywhere.
* "ATA" vendor string is the standardized value to put in that field,
according to the SCSI T10 specifications.
