Subject: udev RUN+=: device but no partitions
Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:35:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48486A19.1020909@indiana.edu> (raw)
If I use udev to run a script when a usb disk device appears, the device file
for the whole device is available in the script but device files for partitions
on the device are not.
Example: usb thumbdrive that appears as sdb and has one partition sdb1.
Udev entry
KERNEL="sdb", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/check-sdb"
In check-sdb, if I run either "ls /dev/sdb*" or find /dev -name "sdb*", only
/dev/sdb appears but not /dev/sdb1. Is that behavior correct? When the same
script is run from the command-line, the partition device file appears.
My system is Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) running udev-117-8.
Thanks,
Dick Repasky
