Re: [opensuse] PATA vs. SATA: which port is device on?

Ignoring whatever information can be discovered or inferred from device model
numbers or names, how can one determine whether a device is connected to a
PATA port or an SATA port?

$ hwinfo --cdrom | awk '
/Device Files/ {
pci = gensub(".*/by-path/pci-[0-9]+:([0-9:.]+)-scsi.*", "\\1", 1);
cmd = "/sbin/lspci";
while ( cmd | getline ) {
if( $1 == pci ) {
print;
};
};
}'

prints the controller the device "hangs on", e.g. one of:

00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 IDE Controller
00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
03:07.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)

HTH,
