Isn't polling evil(TM)? I would be (and was) perfectlywithe leightweight solution of of automatically get /dev/sdX[1-8] and symlinks /dev/cardreader/sd[1-8] instead of just /dev/sdX and the symlink /dev/cardreader/sd when udev detects the presence of the cardreader device. Whether the number of device nodes exactly matches the number of partitions on the inserted sd-card is not really of importance for me. cu andreas -- 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
