I just did something similar today. I have a USB hard drive, and a USB mp3 |
| 2 |
player, and I used udev to set up the nodes so that they will always be the |
| 3 |
same. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I created a new file under /etc/devfs/rules.d, and called it 10-local.rules. |
| 6 |
I used 10 so that it will be processed before the main rules files for udev. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The contents of the file are: |
| 9 |
# Thompson/RCA MP3 player. Mounts as a USB removable drive |
| 10 |
# For mounting |
| 11 |
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?1", SYSFS{product}=="RCA_MPCF2473_US ", NAME="%k", |
| 12 |
SYMLINK="rca_mp3" |
| 13 |
# For fdisk |
| 14 |
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?", SYSFS{product}=="RCA_MPCF2473_US ", NAME="%k", |
| 15 |
SYMLINK="rca_mp3_fdisk" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# External USB Hard Drives |
| 18 |
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="DEF10B2734EF", NAME="%k", |
| 19 |
SYMLINK="usbhd%n" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
As a reference, I used this |
| 22 |
document.<http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html> |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Now I can reference the new /dev entries in /etc/fstab like this: |
| 25 |
# MP3 Player/USB Storage |
| 26 |
/dev/rca_mp3 /media/rca_mp3 auto noauto,noatime,user |
| 27 |
0 0 |
| 28 |
|

# USB Hard disk |
| 30 |
# VFAT partition for windows stuff |
| 31 |
/dev/usbhd1 /media/usbhd_10g_vfat auto \ |
| 32 |
noauto,noatime,user 0 0 |
| 33 |
# Ubuntu Linux that can boot from the drive |
| 34 |
/dev/usbhd2 /media/usbhd_9gig_ubuntu auto \ |
| 35 |
noauto,noatime,user 0 0 |
| 36 |

| 37 |
/dev/usbhd3 /media/usbhd_15m_boot auto \ |
| 38 |
noauto,noatime,user 0 0 |
| 39 |
# ext3 partition with lots of space |
| 40 |

/dev/usbhd6 /media/usbhd_211G_ext3 auto \ |
