I recently did this with a bit more generic rule, this works for me: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
#LaCie 2TB USB hard drive |
| 27 |
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="LaCie", |
| 28 |
ATTRS{product}=="LaCie Hard Disk", NAME{all_partitions}="lacie", |
| 29 |
SYMLINK="lacie" |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
It will create /dev/lacie1 for the first partition, /dev/lacie2 for second, etc. |
