I have a backup script that obtains the path where one partition of a
particularn USB drive is mounted, but after a very recent update (from -4 or
-5, and udev 0.065, I believe) its UDI changed from something like:
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_a7f3c4b2-c4b2-33ad-d134-d4d3cab3092c to
something like: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_8_0, thus making it really
hard for a shell script to uniquely identify the partition.
My script was:
MOUNTPOINT_KEY=volume.mount_point
MOUNTPOINT=`hal-get-property --udi $DRIVE_UDI --key $MOUNTPOINT_KEY`
# If disk is mounted, backup.
if [ -n "$MOUNTPOINT" ]; then
rsync -az --delete /home/ $MOUNTPOINT/home
fi
And I liked it because it was very simple.
Thanks,
