Hi Guys Whats the best way of handling removable (scsi/bulk usb) devices. What I mean is that i have a handful of USB sticks, Card readers, MP3 players and removable hard drives that when connected may appear as anything from /dev/sda to /dev/sdf (possibly more but that is the range i tend to see), i think on all the devices i always mount /dev/sd?1 as well as they only have one partition. How can i manage these devices at a higher level, i assume hotplug or udev etc is the thing to be looking at here? Is it possible that I can when i spot a specific USB ID have the device appear as /dev/mp3player or whatever instead/as well as /dev/sd?1 it would then make /etc/fstab rules a bit more sane and hence kde icons etc would then work for the devices.
