I have hardware that has USB hub on it and on Bus 02 I have storage device. And Bus 01 is a USB port to which any USB device can be connected. What I want to do is -- device connected to BUS 02, should always be enumerated as /dev/sda## . That way the software that is looking for internal storage will not have to worry about order in which things are enumerated. I have tried few things with udev rules but without success. Is it possible to do this?
