Hello all, I'm attempting a rule for my new external hard-drive, but it doesn't seem to be taking. For reference, I am using Debian 5.0.5 am following the wiki's instructions[1] and am using the kernel developers' guide as a reference[2]. My udevinfo output:
> $ udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/ | grep serial > ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538" > ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:1a.7" And the custom rule file 10-local.rules: > SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", > ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538", SYMLINK+="external%n" After restarting Udev I'm greeted with the following dmesg output: > [138065.272612] scsi10 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices > [138065.272965] usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1058, idProduct=1010 > [138065.272972] usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, > SerialNumber=3 > [138065.272978] usb 3-3: Product: External HDD > [138065.272983] usb 3-3: Manufacturer: Western Digital > [138065.272988] usb 3-3: SerialNumber: 57442D575839314133303236343538 > [138065.273008] usb-storage: device found at 9 > [138065.273012] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning > [138070.327947] usb-storage: device scan complete > [138070.328938] scsi 10:0:0:0: Direct-Access WD 1200BEV External > 1.75 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 > [138070.334995] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] 234441648 512-byte hardware sectors > (120034 MB) > [138070.336676] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off > [138070.336676] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 > [138070.336676] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through > [138070.337550] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] 234441648 512-byte hardware sectors > (120034 MB) > [138070.338045] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off > [138070.338045] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 > [138070.338045] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through > [138070.338045] sdb: sdb1 > [138070.376812] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction?
