How many have you tried, and did they used to appear ? Which kernel version ? > > Does anyone have an ole tried-and-tesed udev rule I could use for this? I still think you need to find out what is preventing the partition(s) from appearing. Rules usually change ownership/perms, or create symlinks. In my case my rules create 'stick' or 'camera' symlinks on /dev/sdX1 so that I can mount (one device at a time) as a user - with the appropriate entry in the fstab. Udevadm "helped" me find the ATTR specification to use [ so far, three variants of 'product' for the sticks - "USB Flash Memory", "DISK 2.0", "EHCI Host Controller" ]. But root could already mount them because the partition showed up. What might help is if you can identify the manufacturer, which is why I've suggesting using udevadm (or, just look at all of the sysfs files !). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
