Hello, I have written a udev rule to change the name of the external hard disk to /dev/external. SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{model}=="ST3120827AS", NAME="external" The code is like the above. That works also. But the problem is that. without that rule my device creates 2 device nodes. 1. sdb for the drive 2. sdb1 for the one partition in it. The mount command without the rule will show that the device sdb1 is mounted on /media. But after adding that rule only one device node is created at /dev/external and there is no second device like I expected ( ie /dev/external1 ). Why it is like that ? Any idea ? Is there anything wrong in my udev rule ? --------------------- With regards, Unni "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
