I have a USB memory stick and an external USB box with an IDE disk. |
| 2 |
I configured udev to assign device names to both items, or so I thought. |
| 3 |
The external box is plugged, the memory stick isn't. |
| 4 |
The problem is: the device for the box is not created, and the memstick |
| 5 |
device exists but represents the box, not the stick. I read |

What else should I do? |

The gory details: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/ |
| 15 |
40-my.rules 40-my.rules~ 50-udev.rules |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-my.rules |
| 18 |
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="PLEXTOR ", SYSFS_model="PlexFlash-2*", NAME="plextor_memstick%n" |
| 19 |
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Maxtor 6 ", SYSFS_model="L250R0*", NAME="external_hd%n" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I tried also SYSFS_vendor instead of SYSFS{vendor} ... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ mount -t auto /dev/plextor_memstick1 /mnt/maxtor/ |
| 24 |
$ ls /mnt/maxtor/ |
