Public bug reported:
Something is strange in Ubuntu - I am using actually Gutsy.
What should work is this in /etc/udev/rules.d/13-DBbackup.rules:
KERNEL=="sd?1",SUBSYSTEM=="block",ATTR{size}=="16121824",NAME="usbDBbackup",SYMLINK="usbDBbackup",RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usbBackup"
Goal is to use this udev.rule to give an usbstick a special name, mountpoint
and run a script to backup a SQLiteDB automagic ;-)
So far, so bad:
First Ubuntu mounts the stick to /dev/stick - it just ignores my rules.
So I removed the automount at the Gnome-Desktop via
System/System-/Removable-Devices (or something similar, I run Ubuntu with a
German localization)
When I insert the stick now, the rule is still ignored, no name is given, no
symlink is set nor the script is run.
Actually SYSFS rules seem to be dead at all, so I used the things given by
udevinfo for the device after plugging, dmesg shows me:
[35317.105398] sd 24:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
okay, so I ask the ape:
udevinfo --attribute-walk --name=/dev/sdb1
looking at device '/block/sdb/sdb1':
KERNEL=="sdb1"
SUBSYSTEM=="block"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{stat}==" 24 192 0 0"
ATTR{size}=="16121824"
ATTR{start}=="32"
ATTR{dev}=="8:17"
looking at parent device '/block/sdb':
KERNELS=="sdb"
SUBSYSTEMS=="block"
DRIVERS==""
ATTRS{capability}=="13"
ATTRS{stat}==" 34 23 456 312 0 0
0 0 0 308 312"
ATTRS{size}=="16121856"
ATTRS{removable}=="1"
ATTRS{range}=="16"
ATTRS{dev}=="8:16"
Great, Where does the SYSFS has gone to? Nevermind, the device and it's parent
should be sufficent to create matching rules.
What's wrong with my rule?
Any help highly appreciated, I'm absolutely stuck, sitting 18 hours in front of
my computer trying...
