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.
