Bug#285945: udev: the option `all_partitions' to NAME does not transfer to SYMLINK

[md@Linux.IT (Marco d'Itri)]

I think that the request is reasonable, but I'm not sure about how this
should be solved.
Do we need a SYMLINK{all_partitions}?

Severity: normal

Hi!

I have entries in my local rules file:
SYSFS{model}="Flash R/W", NAME{all_partitions}="%k", SYMLINK="sdcard%n"
which create the normal dev entries (sda and sdb), but as they are
removeable devices, I added
	{all_partitions}
thus I get device nodes for sda1 - sda15 and sda, even when there is no
SD Card in the drive at boot time (built in sd reader).

Additionally, the link
	/dev/sdcard -> sda
is created, but this is not enough. In fact it should also create
	/dev/sdcard1 -> sda1
	/dev/sdcard2 -> sda2
	...
otherwise I cannot use /dev/sdcard1 in /etc/fstab.

Note that IF I have the card in the drive while booting, I DO GET
/dev/sdcard1 -> sda1!

So either this is a bug in the program, or a misconcept, depending this
is a bug report or a wishlist item ;-)
