Re: add/remove actions for usb devices

[jjluza <jjluza@yahoo.fr>]

I try to do that too.
I have a script called usbst.dev in /etc/dev.d/block
it contains :

#!/bin/bash

case $ACTION in

add)
        ls -l /dev/usbst1 >> /tmp/udeveventlog
        mount -t vfat -o sync /dev/usbst1 /mnt/usbst
        echo "mount done" >> /tmp/udeveventlog
        ls -l /dev/usbst1 >> /tmp/udeveventlog
esac


if I try to add a case "remove)", it fails on syntax error
it seems udev handles add and remove in the same case (ie "add)"), maybe it is 
what it should do, but it's not easy to manage.

More, when I plug my usb stick, /tmp/udeveventlog contains :
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   1 Mar 28 16:20 /dev/usbst1
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   1 Mar 28 16:20 /dev/usbst1
mount done
mount done
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   1 Mar 28 16:20 /dev/usbst1
brw-------    1 root     root       8,   1 Mar 28 16:20 /dev/usbst1

This behaviour seems strange for me, isn't it ?
Anyway, my usb stick is well mounted, but I get some messages in console which 
say (2 times) that my stick is already mounted (it seems that the script is 
run several times), so it's not very clean.
And I have to remove it manually for the moment.
I think an example could be a good thing too
