I've been trying to figure out how to have my photos downloadedHi Dave,
automatically when I plug in my camera/memory chip. After looking
through the hotplug scripts for a week, I am still no closer to a
solution. The most irritating thing is that when connecting the
camera in gnome, gnome-volume-manager takes care of it. So it would
seem that I just need to have the system run my script instead of
gnome-volume-manager. Apparently its not that easy.
Here are the questions I have. First, how do I go about ensuring that
I have a consistent link to the device in /dev when it is plugged in?
On a fresh boot it seems that when I use the card reader it is at
/dev/sdd1 but if I use the camera and cable, its at sda1. Just before
I rebooted though all kinds of sd?? devices were being created and I
couldn't mount any of them for various reasons. Then the system
froze. Hopefully that was a fluke.
Second question is how do I go about having a script called when the
kernel sees the device? I'm running on sarge so i believe hotplug is
the appropriate place.
I have followed various exchanges on debian-user and debian-devel about
inconsistent or uncertain device nameing from continuing developement in
udev. Someone suggested a way to avoid this issue by not relying on the
'standard' kernel device nameing and create via udev rules a consistent
device name.
Here is the main example:
a computer has 2 ethernet device: card #1 or card #2
the kernel creates 2 device after boot: eth0 and eth1
but you can not be sure which is which to properely configure your
firewall rules
SOLUTION: use udev rules to create the alternate device names
/dev/firewall_in and /dev/firewall_out by using device characteristics
that are device specific then you can configure:
inbound_port=/dev/firewall_in
outbound_port=/dev/firewall_out
in your config file.
hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kev
