SUBSYSTEMS== and ATTRS== matches also all parent devices - read previous posts
about udev rules it's all explained already.
It's IMHO genrally better to use SUBSYSTEMS and ATTRS if you include enough
fields
to match a given device.
I would change the above rule a little. First it's better to use idVendor and
idProduct
pair if it's avaialable. Plug in your ipod, run lsusb and you'll have
idVendor:idProduct
values. This way you won't need SUBSYSTEMS and other ATTRS.
Also for assigning values use ":=" not "=" becuse this will ensure no other
rule
processed after your rule will change this value. If you want to be absolutely
sure
place it in 00.udev.rules and add OPTIONS="last_rule" but is should work with
":="
So the rule should IMO look like this (replace values of idVendor and
idProduct):
ATTRS{idVendor}=="aaaaaa", ATTRS{idProduct}=="bbbbbb", KERNEL=="sd?2",
NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="ipod", GROUP:="ipod"
assuming that you have ipod group already created and your user is in this
group.
This rule should produce:
/dev/sdX2 root:ipod
/dev/ipod root:root linking to /dev/sdX2
