$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/cruzer.rules
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Cruzer Mini", KERNEL="sd*", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="cruzer%n"
The above entry makes sure that anytime I connect my USB memory stick
the kernel device that it's assigned to is symlinked to /dev/cruzerX
where X is the partition of the devices partitions.
Then in my fstab I have something like the following:
/dev/cruzer1 /mnt/cruzer auto defaults,user,noauto,noatime 0 0
No matter how many USB or Firewire devices I connect my Cruzer memory
stick is always mountable. I suppose if I ever connected multiple
Cruzer sticks I would have a problem, but I don't forsee myself doing
that anytime soon.
