In my experience, with RDX, the docking bay itself shows up as a device... (/dev/usbX or /dev/sdX, I forget)

But plugging/unplugging an RDX cartridge does not notify the kernel in any way, so udev rules are not possible to do anything automatically with RDX.

This was my experience about 8 or more years ago which is why I abandoned any attempts to use RDX with my own customers, and went with plain old removable eSATA drives, fully encrypted with LUKs, and auto-mounted with autofs.

Do you remember if you checked for an ACTION="change" event on media change? That would be sufficient to trigger a launch of vchanger REFRESH to perform the update slots. It would be a feature of the device driver and may or may not exist. If not, then there's definitely no way to automate it and the update slots must be run manually from bconsole any time a cartridge is inserted (or removed).



I'd love to know if something has changed in this regard in the past 8 years or so. :)
