I have the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with this line:
SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{vendor}=="Samsung", ATTRS{model}=="YP-U2",

and all goes well on plugging in the device, it consistently appears in
konqueror under system:/media/samsumg-yp-u2.
udev has already mounted
Thanks, so obvious now you point it out!
the device at /media/samsung-yp-u2, as you can see from your browser. You need
do nothing more!
hth,
Steve
so now I need to restate my intention and where I am stuck. Actually
the device is mounted in /media/disk-x not /media/samsung-yp-u2 (which
doesn't exist) - this being different from system:/media/samsung-yp-u2.
Of course "disk-x" changes depending on what else is plugged in. On
plugging the device in, I'd like to be able to access from a fixed
location like /home/roger/samsung folder for example. How do I link a
folder to the device's consistent location?
It's not "ln - s /dev/samsung-yp-u2 /home/roger/samsung" - this just
creates a link to the block device.
It can't be "ln -s /media/disk-x /home/roger/samsung" - since "disk-x"
is changeable (hence the point of udev)
The consistent location for the device is "system:/media/samsumg-yp-u2"
in a browser, but how do I link to such a location? Or, to another
(better) location?
Ultimately this isn't about an MP3 player, it's my learning device from
which I'll be moving on to a removable hard drive and will be scripting
backups and restores.
Cheers,
Roger
