Operating Systems Linux Debian automount specific USB-disk to specified path Post 302259522 by Corona688 on Tuesday 18th of November 2008 10:34:09 AM

I have these udev rules for an IDE-to-USB device:
Code:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
# The raw device
SYSFS{product}=="Cypress AT2LP Demo RC17", SYSFS{serial}=="000000000000", KERNEL=="sd?", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="hotswap-bay"
# Its partitions
SYSFS{product}=="Cypress AT2LP Demo RC17", SYSFS{serial}=="000000000000", KERNEL=="sd?*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="hotswap-bay%n"

It generates the symlinks /dev/hotswap-bay1, /dev/hotswap-bay2, etc. when the device is detected. You may wish to forgo the symlinks and just make the device itself named that instead of whatever the kernel gives it, i.e. %k.

Note that debian probably keeps its local rules in a slightly different filename, though it does apparently have /etc/udev/rules.d

This page from the debian wiki shows you how to obtain the parameters to identify the device with.
