Hi
I'm trying to write custom udev rules to create persistent symlinks
for my usb stick and card reader. The first pluged gets /dev/sda and
the second /dev/sdb. I followed the instructions in
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter07/symlinks.html
and tried many more (DRIVER="usb-storage", DRIVER="ums-realtek",
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ACTION=="add"....) with no success.
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/83-duplicate_devs.rules
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{ID_VENDOR}=="Generic-", ATTRS{ID_MODEL}=="Multi-Card",
SYMLINK+="card_reader"
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{ID_VENDOR}=="Kingston", ATTRS{ID_MODEL}=="DT_R500",
SYMLINK+="usb_stick"
I tried renaming to 11-duplicate_devs.rules
At the moment I test booting having the devices pluged, until the symlinks
to be created and then add ACTION=="add" rule

Perhaps that is your problem - do they appear correctly if you boot
without them plugged in, then connect them once the system has
booted ?
FWIW, I use lowercase ATTRS variable names on my sticks and camera
(only one is ever plugged in at a time, so all my different usb
sticks can happily appear at /dev/stick). I couldn't see
corresponding items in your udevadm output. As of (summer) 2011,
I found the values using:
/sbin/udevadm info --name=/dev/sdb --attribute-walk
but I'm sure the correct command will have changed since then -
backward-compatability was never a goal for udev.
I also specify SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" on some of my rules - that should
clearly be SUBSYSTEM= so I guess that part isn't needed :) For the
sticks (a range collected over the past few years) I variously match
on
ATTRS{product}=="USB Flash Memory",
ATTRS{product}=="DISK 2.0",
ATTRS{product}=="EHCI Host Controller",
and for the cameras
ATTRS{manufacturer}=="OLYMPUS",
I also match for KERNEL=="sd?1", NOT for the unpartitioned device
(in my case these are all formatted with FAT).

Thank you Ken, for the response. I tried many times to boot and then plug
having the ACTION=="add" option. I tried with lower/upper case also.
KERNEL=="sd?1" is more strict than KERNEL=="sd*",
but the solution was elsewere. I have to be more carefull
when I read man pages. The option --attribute-walk
helped to find correct rules. I used rules from the same device
as per command's output: SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{vendor}=="Kingston"
and SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",ATTRS{vendor}=="Generic-"
The full lines:
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",
ATTRS{vendor}=="Kingston", SYMLINK+="usb_stick", RUN+="/bin/mount
/dev/usb_stick"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",
ATTRS{vendor}=="Generic-", SYMLINK+="card_reader", RUN+="/bin/mount
/dev/card_reader"
and have them mounted.
Thank you very much for the help. I spent a lot of time trying
and had got stuck.
