I didn't understand that. Let me try it out
Well dang. This works. Thanks everyone.
I now see what you're all talking about. I assumed that I
had to write a udev rule from the contents of
/dev/disk/by-path. I also thought the contents of this
directory was changing with each insertion, like the output
of "udevinfo -a -p $device", but I now see that it isn't.
I'd like only the program of interest to be able to write to
disks on the external ports. Changing the GROUP and MODE of
these disks would do it. Is it possible to change the GROUP
of the ports on the external hubs (and not change the GROUP
of ports built into the computer)?
Thanks Joe
