Thank you for the confirmation Thomas, empirical testing will soon
confirm if it works in my arch installation as I've already included
3 such "rules" in my new /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local-disk.rules file,
and commented out the line in my rc.local that sourced my old kludge.
As of this boot cycle I can at least confirm that the addition of the
udev rule file caused no errors. Next boot should confirm that I don't
need the kludge anymore... If it fails, I'll follow up here...
But since I expect that this is my last posting on this thread, I'd
like to thank you again for so kindly including such a well formed
example when you suggested I man udev. Incidentally your example
included the scroogle search term "ENV{ID_FS_UUID}" which wasn't in
the man udev output except in very general terms that assumed the
reader knew what "key" values were possible. That soon led to a
confirmation that "ID_FS_LABEL" was also a valid key. the "GROUP"
variable name was mostly a guess that was initially confirmed only by
vim's syntax highlighting that color matched it to "OWNER".
But if I'd had to depend on man udev, I'd still be as stuck as I was
the last time I tried to understand what udev was all about. back when
the attempt turned my brains to mush until I figured out how to
implement my kludge (I think that was on Kubuntu breezy, but it might
have been fedora core 2... I lose lots of memories to CRS ya know)
But like I said Thomas:
