Needed; A few good ... hal-device dumps. :)

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I am working on the DB schema for my backup program... Specifically, 
the part on device detection and recognition. This is where I am hoping 
I can ask TLUG to help me out.

   What I need is a collection of dumps from HAL. Specially if you have 
odd/fancy hardware like tape drives, SAN, iSCSI, fiberchannel or other 
such esoteric hardware attached to your system.

   To create the dump file, just run:

$ hal-device > yourname_hal-device-dump.txt

   Of course, make the name whatever you want, I just needed an example. 
If you could then email me a copy of the output file off the list, I 
would be very much appreciative!

   If you are security concerned (as we all are), all I care about are 
URIs related to block devices. Also, delete any hardware serial 
numbers... they won't matter to me (but do please leave the line intact 
so I can see what it looks like).

Thanks for your help!!

Madison
