Subject: Identical USB devices rules
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 22:09:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200608021809.13802.James@Finnall.net> (raw)
Hello All,
New to the list and searched the archives some but unable to locate something
on identical hotplug devices for writing rules. I am running udev and I had
a custom rule for an external drive enclosure as follows:
SYSFS{idVendor}="0402", SYSFS{idProduct}="5642", NAME="disk/drv%n"
This works as desired for either of my devices that are identical when only
one is attached. But today I had a need to clone one drive to another using
both devices at the same time. I found that udev assigned the device
assignments to the 2nd drive unit as the first drive.
The kernel originally used /dev/sde and /dev/sdf for each of the drives when
they were connected. And of course these could change depending on what else
may be connected at any given time by USB or IEEE1394. Being unable to
identify them separately in a rule to be sequential, I could only remark out
the rule above and then proceed with the kernel names that were assigned.
Is there a way to sequentially assign the drives using the name convention
above as in /dev/disk1/drv%n and /dev/disk2/drv%n when using multiple devices
that are identical?
Thank you for your consideration.
James
