That's the point. Still only roughly tested though. Someone already mentioned it some months ago in this thread, I just kept on thinking about it :) ...searching archive... It was Martin Owens: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=69ff73b20710091437r1335496am691a4ea2054eb754%40mail.gmail.com> >> Instead of a script, it would of course also be possible to add a >> C/C++-function to libbarry.

You're right, it should be <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/sysfs-rules.txt>. >> I hope this script helps somebody and explains a bit more how >> usb-storage can be kept loaded while using barry.

Well, I run it manually and start bcharge/btool after that. It would also be possible to change the udev-rules to start the script too/instead/before bcharge. However I also do think it would be most convenient if libbarry provides comparable functions (or handle it automagically).
