This behavior changed at some point in the last 20 versions or so :-). Actually, looking at the release notes, it was in udev-057. It now continues reading all rules, but only applies the first NAME setting. In fact, now I see there is actually an OPTIONS=last_rule setting to get the old behavior. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] UDEV permissions
I'm working on a manual QEMU install (that is, I'm installing from source downloaded from their website). There's a reference in their kqemu documentation about setting UDEV permissions on /dev/kqemu. I initially disregarded this, but now it's become an issue. It was easily resolved by /manually/ setting permissions on this device to 0666... What I'm having difficulty with is finding information on the illusive /etc/udev/permissions.d directory. According to the kqemu docs, I should edit the file /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions and add the following line to it: kqemu:root:root:0666 This directory and file don't exist so I created them both and rebooted--this didn't work to set the permissions and that device. My question is: How do I set these permissions as explained in Gentoo? (I've looked for docs for doing this but haven't found anything referencing this file or setting UDEV permissions.) Thanks in advance for your help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you. I am using the latest udev from Portage. The file I found in /etc/udev/rules.d is 50-dev.rules. Haven't tired it yet but will tomorrow.

Re: [gentoo-user] UDEV permissions
Well, I didn't emerge the Gentoo qemu--it is a few versions behind the official so I opted for using the official release (0.8.0, I believe). Perhaps I'll try the Portage version of qemu before proceeding much further. :-?

[gentoo-user] Udev Permissions
I've been having trouble getting udev to create stuff with the right
permissions. The latest is with my phone which has a USB Mass Storrage
Interface. I've added this line to my 10-local.rules:
# My Phone
BUS=usb, SYSFS{interface}=Sony Erics Memory Stick,
KERNEL=sd?1,NAME=%k, SYMLINK=phonemem, GROUP=users, MODE=0660
Which sort of works. It creates the /dev/phonemem symlink to /dev/sdc1
when I plug my phone in. However instead of giving it the group
permissions I suggest it still selects disk:
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/phonemem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/phonemem - sdc1
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/sdc1
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 33 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/sdc1
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/sdc
I was under the impression that configuring things in 10-local should
overide any of the following general stuff in the main body of rules.
Have I come across a bug or have I just not understood the subtly of
creating the rule?

You should be using == for the comparisons. = is an assignment.
You can also use := to disallow changes by later rules (see the
current udev man page). So something like this should work better for
you:
BUS==usb, SYSFS{interface}==Sony Erics Memory Stick,
KERNEL==sd?1,NAME=%k, SYMLINK=phonemem, GROUP:=users, MODE:=0660
