Thanks everybody that was the trick. I settled upon this: BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?1", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0ef5", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2202", SYMLINK="istick%n", MODE="0666"
And for my /etc/fstab entry: /dev/istick1 /mnt/istick vfat defaults,noauto,user,umask=000 0 0 Now the second part of this. SOMETIMES, when I plug the stick in (I assume that's when it happens), KDE gives me a nice little window to view the files or take no action. But it's not consistent?! What triggers that 'event', and how can I make it happen all the time? Also related, is there an easy way to make this stick auto un/mount upon removal/insertion respectively? I tried taking out the 'noauto' in fstab, but that didn't do it. I saw some web search results, but most of them feel outdated, or for other distros. DÆVID -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
