Thanks for working on this.  Whilst I appreciate your not uploading
already, I will note that the time between your original request and the
message above was only seven hours, which is possibly a little soon to
be expecting an answer, particularly on a weekday. :)

++of this path. Higher number have a higher priority.

s/number/&s/

++regex can be of SCSI H:B:T:L format  Ex: 1:0:.:. , *:0:0:.
++.I devname 
++regex can be of device name format  Ex: sda , sd.e

s/can be of/can be in/g
