More help requested with UDEV. To automount something with no LABEL or UUID.
by davecs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4R6DR)
I've posted about this before, but I'm narrowing down what the problem is.
I have hardware which connects via USB, but increasingly doesn't mount automatically as distros get updated. The problem appears to be that the latest distros can no longer find its Label or its UUID. It uses the FAT12 file system and shows as Mass Storage though that's not its main purpose.
There are two versions of it, and I can capture it in udev with:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="06e7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8015|8020"
In both cases, it mounts as the next available device in /dev/sd*1, with a shortcut in /dev/disk:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-UEI_Remotes_UEI_Mass_Storage_000000000001-0:0-part1
Does anyone know how to get it to automount? The only rule I can write is to nominate a user, which is probably ok for most purposes but I want to do it properly!
