Look! It's a fake hard disk:

# hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

Model=, FwRev=, SerialNo=HC40SJE1
...

Just like a real hard disk:

# hdparm -i /dev/hde

/dev/hde:

Model=Maxtor 6Y080L0, FwRev=YAR41BW0, SerialNo=Y2QTHC9E
...

Brilliant!

The serial number is based on the inode of the image
file (or COW file).

Fake serial number for fake HD
