Hi
This overview page:
http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=overview
Says that a "Starting an application" is a reasonable thing to want to do.
I just want to run a script.
A simple script.
That's it.
Why on earth is it so hard?
Hmm, maybe not the best tone to start with - but isn't hotplugging about
making the user's life easier?
It's cool that it automatically loads my modules.
Now all I have to do is start a shell and type: mount -t vfat -o
uidÚvid,gid=greaves,sync /dev/sda1 /mnt/lexar
Not exactly plug-and-play is it?
When I plug in my Lexar Jumpshot I want to mount the drive and rsync my
piccies.
What happens?
I get a usb event
then a scsi-host event
then a scsi event
then a block event
and another block event
then a scsi-device event
Fine.
So I add a usermap tied to the usb vendor/product id (the 'right' place)
and create a dummy module called lexar.script with a control script.
It runs - good.
At the wring time (ie before the scsi devices are registered) - bad.
Do I really have to hack into the generic scsi-device agent?
David
