Writing udev Rules by Daniel Drake (dsd) Version 0.72

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1015 bytes --]

Hi,
 I have been trying to  follow subject Daniel Drakes instructions on how 
to have  various devices on my Ubuntu Feisty system  mount with  
persistent names.  As an example the attached dmesgSDB file shows  my  
'U3 Cruzer  Micro'  as sdb. The udevSDB attached file shows the result 
of the command:
"*sudo udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdb)*". I note there is 
no  *SYSFS *attributes only *ATTRS*. Also there is no place that 
*BUS="usb" *shows up, only *KERNELS=="4.4"*. I have cobbled up a rule 
attached as *10-local.rules* which, of course, does not work when I 
re-boot my computer.  The attached file *udevtestSDB* mentions U3 Cruzer 
Micro so something is trying to work, I guess.

Can you help me by explaining what is going on here?  Why doesn't 
udevinfo show information  like Daniel's article shows?  How do I use 
the attributes from *usbview*?  Usbview shows information such as: 
Manufacturer: SanDisk Corporation, Product Id:5406 etc.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Rick P.

Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
