Sane-dasd-update

Overview

This is the download site for sane-dasd-update, a small tool for SLES 10 s390x systems which automates the process of converting by-id DASD paths in /etc/fstab and /etc/zipl.conf to the (better, in our opinion, for s390 and s390x architectures) by-disk paths.

The sane-dasd-update program is licensed under the Artistic License 2.0, and is copyright 2008 Sine Nomine Associates.

It will only work out-of-the-box on SLES 10 s390x systems. However, it should be easily adaptable to any other distribution's s390 or s390x system, and makes no sense on a non-s390/s390x system, since disk nomenclature is totally different.
