USB fixed disk

USB fixed disk

[Bill Gradwohl]

On an FC3 system, a USB fixed disk was being recognized and set up to 
mount at /media/usbdisk

I manually commented out the line in /etc/fstab for that device that 
fstab-sync had created so I could control mounting and dismounting 
myself. However, the /dev entry it used, namely sdd1 isn't created any 
longer after I bounced the machine..

I tried to find a mechanism that would tell udev not to create the 
entry, but came up empty.

Why isn't udev creating the /dev/ssd1 entry, or am I completely 
misunderstanding this?

Anyone know how to get the original functionality back, as at this point 
I've got no access at all. When I uncommented the line in fstab and 
bounced the box, the line disappeared.

Here's the section of /var/log/messages:

Yet there is no /dev/sdd*. I'm also curious about the 20 Gig USB drive 
being listed twice.
