I have udev running with the 2.6.16.9 kernel on Slackware 11.0. I have a scsi camera device that takes discs from a camera and reads them. The serial for the device is "0000186202," and appears in /dev as sda and sda1. I want to rename these to camera and camera1. The rule I have written looks like this
This was placed in a file a created called 10-local.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/. Can you tell me why my camera isn't being named camera or camera1 yet? Thanks.
Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
Do you even need to configure udev rules for the card-reader? Why won't the regular usb storage device rules work ?
Try running udevmonitor before plugging in the device. Do you have the "halmount" program? If so, and a device node is created, try "halmount /dev/<node>".
You lost me transitioning from a usb camera to a storage device.
