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.

The sets of addresses do not intersect: the 7 bit address 0x10 is not the same as the 10 bit address 0x10 (though a single device could respond to both of them). You select a 10 bit address by adding an extra byte after the address byte: S Addr7 Rd/Wr .... becomes S 11110 Addr10 Rd/Wr S is the start bit, Rd/Wr the read/write bit, and if you count the number of bits, you will see the there are 8 after the S bit for 7 bit addresses, and 16 after the S bit for 10 bit addresses. address 0x10 (though a single device could respond to both of them). WARNING! The current 10 bit address support is EXPERIMENTAL. There are several places in the code that will cause SEVERE PROBLEMS with 10 bit addresses, even though there is some basic handling and hooks. Also, almost no supported adapter handles the 10 bit addresses correctly. I2C messages to and from 10-bit address devices have a different format. See the I2C specification for the details. As soon as a real 10 bit address device is spotted 'in the wild', we can and will add proper support. Right now, 10 bit address devices are defined by the I2C protocol, but we have never seen a single device which supports them. The current 10 bit address support is minimal. It should work, however you can expect some problems along the way: * Not all bus drivers support 10-bit addresses. Some don't because the hardware doesn't support them (SMBus doesn't require 10-bit address support for example), some don't because nobody bothered adding the code (or it's there but not working properly.) Software implementation (i2c-algo-bit) is known to work. * Some optional features do not support 10-bit addresses. This is the case of automatic detection and instantiation of devices by their, drivers, for example. * Many user-space packages (for example i2c-tools) lack support for 10-bit addresses. Note that 10-bit address devices are still pretty rare, so the limitations listed above could stay for a long time, maybe even forever if nobody needs them to be fixed.
