Subject: udev sysfs %s{filename} not working
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 10:59:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1111489188.24786.1183.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi List,

I'm having a problem creating symbolic links with udev using the %
s{filename} construct.

I'm using Ubuntu Warty, kernel 2.6.8.1-4-386, udev 0.026-1ubuntu5.

I want to name USB devices, specifically printers, according to
manufacturer and possibly (eventually) serial number.

The rule I'm trying to use is:
 BUS="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9]*",   NAME="usb/%k", SYMLINK="usbdev-%
s{product}"

The symlink which gets created is:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Mar 22 10:36 /dev/usbdev- ->
usb/lp0

My %s{product} bit seems to resolve to an empty string.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

-Oli
