Running with PATA driver:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host0/scsi_host/host0 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0
well, in both cases at least one component is redundant? Also the intermediate nodes (scsi_host and target0:0:0) do not seem to contain any useful information at all?
I noticed this because kernel installer in Mandriva started to complaint about host* and target* device nodes under /sys/bus/scsi/devices:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 0:0:0:0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 1:0:0:0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 host0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 host1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host1/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 target0:0:0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host0/target0:0:0/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-10-29 19:58 target1:0:0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/host1/target1:0:0/
It is really not quite clear what use they have.
TIA
