I have a USB memory stick and an external USB box with an IDE disk.
I configured udev to assign device names to both items, or so I thought.
The external box is plugged, the memory stick isn't.
The problem is: the device for the box is not created, and the memstick
device exists but represents the box, not the stick. I read
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#identify-sysfs
and
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Flash-Memory-HOWTO.html
What else should I do?
The gory details:
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
40-my.rules 40-my.rules~ 50-udev.rules
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-my.rules
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="PLEXTOR ", SYSFS_model="PlexFlash-2*",
NAME="plextor_memstick%n"
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Maxtor 6 ", SYSFS_model="L250R0*",
NAME="external_hd%n"
I tried also SYSFS_vendor instead of SYSFS{vendor} ...
$ mount -t auto /dev/plextor_memstick1 /mnt/maxtor/
$ ls /mnt/maxtor/
