Probably something trivial, but can't seem to find solution (other than
placing "modprobe sg" in /etc/rc.local).
I attempted something like this in modprobe.conf:
alias char-major-21 sg
(and also char-major-21-* variant)
The problem is, there are no /dev/sg* entries in /dev when machine
boots. They are created by udev when "sg" driver loads. Chicken and
egg problem. Kind of. So the above lien in modprobe.conf does not
really work.
So.... the question is, is there any way to instruct udev to create
/dev/sg* nodes (so that applications can access it and trigger auto
loading of sg driver)? Or instruct system to autoload sg module during
boot if there are any SCSI devices, which would trigger udev to create
/dev/sg* nodes? Other than placing "modprobe sg" in /etc/rc.local.
