That's what udev is for. Example rule to give my memory stick persistent name: BUS="usb", SYSFS_serial="5B4B06010122", NAME="pendriveZDZ%n", GROUP="floppy", MODE="0662", RUN+= "/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd" Go figure how to udev-enable your distribution. -- Tomasz Torcz "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station [EMAIL PROTECTED] wagon filled with backup tapes." -- Jim Gray
