Udev rule for external hard-drive
Hello all,
I'm attempting a rule for my new external hard-drive, but it doesn't
seem to be taking. For reference, I am using Debian 5.0.5 am following
the wiki's instructions[1] and am using the kernel developers' guide
as a reference[2]. My udevinfo output:
> $ udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sdb/sdb1/ | grep serial
> ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538"
> ATTRS{serial}=="0000:00:1a.7"
And the custom rule file 10-local.rules:
> SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{serial}=="57442D575839314133303236343538", SYMLINK+="external%n"
After restarting Udev I'm greeted with the following dmesg output:
> [138065.272612] scsi10 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Brian
