Hi dear hotplug developers!

I have several removeable disks (SD card reader, CF card reader, etc),
but udev/hotplug only generates the base device file name (/dev/sda etc)
and *not* the partition device nodes (/dev/sda1) because at boot time
the partition table is not available.

Now, having /dev/sda1 for /mnt/sd in /etc/fstab will not work.

Thus, is it possible to do some changes that the partition devnodes are
*always* also created for these kinds of disks, or all?

------------

Next question: The /dev/dvd link:
I have two CDROMS: The first, hdc, is a DVD, the second, hdd, is a
plextor cd writer.

Now interestingly I get
	/dev/cdrom -> hdd
and *no*
	/dev/dvd
This is strange because what I see in /etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh looks like
a dvd node *should* be created.

-----------

Last question: What is the suggested place to add links I want to have?

I would like to have a link
	/dev/pilot -> /dev/ttyUSB1
ttyUSB1 is only generated when I press the HotSync button on the palm,
but I want /dev/pilot to point to it. 

Where should I configure this.

----------------------------

Finally, some info:
debian/sid uptodate
kernel-2.6.7-mm3

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
