*** Please type your report below this line ***
When the /dev/disk/by-id directory contains files with a '.' character,
these files
are skipped. Even when they are perfectly valid like:
ata-SanDisk_SSD_SATA_5000_2.5_93102300257-part5
The code intents to skip '.' and '..', but the expression is not anchored.
The following
patch will fix this:
