Dude--you have got to start using more descriptive file names. Seriously.


Funny.

I just looked again and I actually have '/dev/fd0u1680' (and about a dozen other 'fd0u' device nodes). I'm using FC5.

I actually gave a talk on udev once, but I'm still no expert. I have a summary slide from the talk here: http://www.martnet.com/~jes/temp/hotplug.png (just kidding) and some more links here: http://www.martnet.com/~jes/CHLUG/HAL_udev_hotplug_links.html, although those may be pretty stale by now. The best cookbook-type resource is still here: http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php

Anyway, I believe the fd0u devices are being created by this rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules:
KERNEL=="fd[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{device/cmos}=="*",\
RUN+="create_floppy_devices -c -t $sysfs{device/cmos} -m %M /dev/%k"

This is actually running a utility, /lib/udev/create_floppy_devices, which comes with the udev package.

Sorry I can't give you more specific help but maybe enough clues for a good start.

Some light reading on a sunday morning. I'll check it out. Thanks for the response.
