No such file in OpenSuse 11.2.

/dev/disk/by-id/ has some files :

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B200P0_B419N81H
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B200P0_B419N81H-part1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B200P0_B419N81H-part3
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6B200P0_B419N81H-part4
... and others...

They are all zero bytes so all info is in the name.
