What sort of identifiers about a particular physical device like this are values that udev can use to fingerprint a subsystem? How can I query something currently plugged in now for details? I didn't see much in the man pages for udev to elaborate. Also, I use a rotating set of small USB drives so that some are always off site, in case of fire. Only one of these is attached at a time. Can multiple fingerprints (I'm guessing each drive will look different) be assigned to the same device node by udev?
