When I connect the drive with a disk inserted, everything works fine. Here is the udev rule: BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="USB Zip 750", KERNEL="sd?1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="zip" When connecting the drive without a disk the symlink is not created. This is ok, beceause there is no disk. But if I now insert a disk, there is still no symlink? I've search a bit on google and if I understand correctly the main problem is the SCSI protocol. Is there a solution to this problem? I hope this is the right list to ask this. -- Roeland
