I am somewhat confused by this hal/udev topic. Isn't one of them replaced/obsoleted by the other?
I was led to believe that udev had replaced all the ivman stuff. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Do we still need ivman to use things like USB?
Finally, I've (almost) figured out how to do what Randall and myself want, and it turns out that all this can be done by udev directly. No ivman needed. I've put into /etc/udev/rules.d/80-my-backup-mounts.rules the following: ACTION=="add", # when device is attached KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]*", # and matches this pattern PROGRAM="/lib/udev/vol_id -l %N", # retrieve filesystem label RESULT=="na-ppc-[0-9]*", # label has to match this pattern RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/$result", # create mountpoint and mount RUN+="/bin/mount -orw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,noatime /dev/%k /media/$result", OPTIONS="last_rule" # abort processing All this must be a single line and comments are to be removed. All the labels of my backup drives match the regex /^na-ppc-\d+$/ and the RESULT rule makes sure that everything else is ignored by this rule. Unfortunately, udevd understands only simple shell-style globbing. Then I run "udevadm control --reload-rules" This (almost) does what we both (and maybe others?) want. The OPTIONS="last_rule" stops further processing and therefore prevents the event to be forwarded to HAL and the desktop (that is the "manually" part of Randall's question) The only problem that I could not figure out (yet) is that of the RUN array: only the last command (the mount in this case) is run. If I use RUN+="/bin/mkdir foo; /bin/mount bar baz" instead, then mkdir is run with foo;, /bin/mount, bar and baz as options. So the remaining question is: how to run multiple commands from a single udev rule? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
