Subject: %e switch doesn't work for udev
Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2005 07:08:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <28890729.1104822507859.JavaMail.www@wwinf0603> (raw)
Hi,
(I've not suscribed to the list so if you've got an answer please reply
directly to me).
I've read in the udev FAQ that this is the right place for talking and
asking about udev problems, if not please tell me the right place to
send my question.
here is the thing, in my /etc/udev/rules.d, I've set up something like
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[b-z]", SYSFS{removable}="1", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="cdroms/cdrom%e" as it is advised in some docs. Now the problem
is it doesn't work: for example hdb (a cdrom) creates
a /dev/cdroms/cdrom symlink pointing to hdb and hdc (another cdrom
reader) also creates the same symlink later which is pointing to hdc
this time. The only way I've found to distinguish between the two cdroms
is with the %b switch but I really want to use the %e. I use udev
version 0.50 and I've got the newest hotplug package.
any idea what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance
