Debian sid.

I was running a 2.4 kernel with devfs/devfsd - I've now got
2.6.7-1-686 kernel with udev installed. devfsd is removed.

The setup is working quite well - but a couple of things I don't
understand.

I have a couple of multifunction card readers - the one I'm currently
using most is a Lexar media USB 2.0 Multi-Card reader.

When I insert the device to USB then a new host appears under
/dev/scsi. e.g. /dev/scsi/hostn/bus0/target0. Here are three luns.

Insert an SD card - under lun2 I get disc and generic. Try to mount
disc - no dice - but after trying to mount then part1 appears - and
this can be mounted. It doesn't appear until I try to mount the disc
directly. Thinking about partitions etc - this kind of makes sense -
you mount a partition - not the disc itself - but how to get part1 to
show up straight away?

The other question is rights - how to set up user/groups on /dev and
how to get devices to turn up at the same place so that they can be
added to /etc/fstab with "user" option so I don't have to keep
switching to root to mount/read the cards. If I plug/unplug the reader
a couple of times it works it's way up thru /dev/scsi/host1,
/dev/scsi/host2, /dev/scsi/host3, /dev/scsi/host4 etc.

I see all sorts of config stuff under /etc/udev - is there a howto to
the debian way to use all this config?

Regards
