Write a new udev rule? Why is your name so long? What's this "0-8a0906-9f4e88005-913000000484b842"-part? Some sort of ID? Our devices look like ip-10.0.0.120:3260-iscsi-iqn.2009-09.org.sikkerhed:sikkerhedorg- disks-lun-5 Which easily fits under 128 chars. Maybe you can research why your names are longer? -- Med venlig hilsen Christian Iversen
