Re: [Bacula-users] Removable disk HOWTO autofs question

It is udev, rather than autofs, that creates /dev/disk/* entries. The udev rules must be a bit different for Centos/RHEL. Kind of strange, since Fedora has had it at least since Core 4. The solution is to add udev rules to create a symlink to the physical device that gets assigned by udev.
