Is it possible to change the file name in /sys filesystem?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
- udev
Issue
- In /sys filesystem, why the names are still unchanged?
- I have created following udev rule, but i can see that in /sys file system, the names are still unchanged.
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="st[0-9]*",SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_tape",IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --sg-version=3 --export --whitelisted -d $tempnode",NAME="st-$env{ID_SCSI_SERIAL}" ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="nst[0-9]*",SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_tape",IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --sg-version=3 --export --whitelisted -d $tempnode",NAME="nst-$env{ID_SCSI_SERIAL}" ACTION=="add",SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic",ATTRS{type}=="8",IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --sg-version=3 --export --whitelisted -d $tempnode",NAME="sg-$env{ID_SCSI_SERIAL}"
Root Cause
/sysis temporary and an internal virtual file system. So rename can not reflect on the/sysfile system.
