The concept of udev is that instead of the computer saying "you plugged in a block device, I will give it a name--what name is next? /dev/sdc ok give it /dev/sdc" in udev it is "you plugged in a block device, what it its name? 982p4q9834uafdfkajdsf Oh, let me look that up: that is the unique name for this exact WD hard drive" If you plug in a different WD hard drive it will also have a unique udev name. Absolute names instead of relative names. That is my understanding--I could be wrong.

What are the actual permissions? ------rwx or rwxrwxrwx or r-xr-xrwx and so on. Who is the owner of the file and what is the group? Just do ll or ls -l
