Is that behavior correct? When the same > script is run from the command-line, the partition device file appears. You get separate events for the partitions, which you may want to hook in, instead of expecting the partitions to be available when the disk shows up. In theory, the event for the disk is delayed until the partition table is scanned and hte partitions are created. We changed that in the kernel a while ago: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d4d7e5dffc4844ef51fe11f497bd774c04413a00 Maybe that does not work for you for some reason.
