when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/alias
Date: Aug 2011
Contact: Nao Nishijima <nao.nishijima.xt@hitachi.com>
Description:
A raw device name of a disk does not always point a same disk
each boot-up time. Therefore, users have to use persistent
device names, which udev creates when the kernel finds a disk,
instead of raw device name. However, kernel doesn't show those
persistent names on its messages (e.g. dmesg).
This file can store an alias of the disk and it would be
appeared in kernel messages if it is set. A disk can have an
alias which length is up to 255bytes. Users can use alphabets,
numbers, "-" and "_" in alias name. This file is writeonce.
