Support for search by disk id module

[Mat628]

Hi,

 

I wanted to verify/clarify what would be an acceptable format for a disk id to be used as a search parameter for a module to return the associated device.

Where on Linux, devices are mapped to a hardware specific path.

For hard disks it is

    type-product_serial(-partition#)  

 

    ata-ST42443343DR_6GE23Y09

    ata-ST42443343DR_6GE23Y09-part1

But for a USB flash drive it is

 

    type-vendor_product_serial-(?physical id?)-(part#)

 

    usb-SanDisk_Ultra_4E53324345657878876543-0:0-part1

where product = model name

Would it be okay to shorten this for USB flash drive to

        type-product_serial-(part#)  ?

    usb-Ultra_4E53324345657878876543-part1

To help keep it to a minimal amount of characters the user would have to type. While ensuring the shortened version would not impact its reliability to return the correct device. Even the 'type' could be removed if that is okay with you?

Best regards,

Matt
