It is a matter of programming, not looking. I need a program that creates the |
| 20 |
symlink when the device is plugged in. Think mdev (more precisely, a |
| 21 |
complement to mdev that would take care of a few particular devices, to allow |
| 22 |
using fstab to mount them in chosen mountpoints, and then leave the |
| 23 |
rest to mdev). |
