Subject: udev: rules ignore whitespace but not case
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 20:40:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041115204046.GA5306@localhost> (raw)
I use a rule like this
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{model}="iPod", KERNEL="sd[a-z]2", SYMLINK="ipod"
and it works even though the model field is actually
"iPod "
But a rule like this
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="KINGSTON", KERNEL="sd[a-z]1", SYMLINK="flash"
fails with my flash disk because the vendor field is actually "Kingston".
I think that if the pattern matching is going to trim whitespace, it
should also ignore case. That would be more consistent and more
resilient to errors.
