37 run *lsusb –v*
38
39 you will see somethin like this
40
41 *Bus 003 Device 010: ID 152d:2338*
42
43 *Device Descriptor:*
44
45 *...dVendor 0x152d*
46
47 * idProduct 0x2338*
48
49 * bcdDevice 1.00*
50
51 * **iManufacturer 1*
52
53 * iProduct 2*
54
55 * iSerial 5*
56
57 * bNumConfigurations 1*
58 Now make file /etc/udev/rule.d/z98-usb-flash.rules with this content
59
60 *SUBSYSTEM**=="block**", SYSFS**{idProduct**}=="2338",
61 SYSFS**{idVendor**}=="152d**", NAME**="name**" **RUN+="/bin/mount
62 /dev/name /media/name"*
63
64 *
65 Change idProduct and idVendor and to your data. And name too. With
66 this name your device will apear in /dev. And of course mkfir
67 /media/name
68 *
