That is the rule that creates sd* devices. OK, in /etc/udev/hal.rules: # put removable IDE/SCSI devices into the hal group instead of 'disk' BUS="scsi",KERNEL="sd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" # BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" BUS="usb", KERNEL="ub[a-z]*", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" In /etc/udev/rules.d/: I have no 050_hal* files. I have a file called z_hal-plugdev.rules: # put removable IDE/SCSI devices into the hal group instead of 'disk' BUS="scsi",KERNEL="sd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" # BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh %k", RESULT="1", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" BUS="usb", KERNEL="ub[a-z]*", NAME="%k", MODE="0640", GROUP="hal" Since they point to /etc/udev/scripts/device-removable.sh: #!/bin/sh -e # print "1" if device $1 is either removable, on the ieee1394 or on the usb bus, # and "0" otherwise. check_bus() { # check if the DEVICE is on the given bus # This is done by checking if any of the devices on the bus is a prefix # of the device BUSDEVP="/sys/bus/$1/devices" for x in $BUSDEVP/*; do [ -L "$x" ] || continue if echo "$DEVICE" | grep -q "^$(readlink -f $x)"; then return 0 fi done return 1 } DEV="${1%[0-9]*}" BLOCKPATH="/sys/block/$DEV" if [ ! -d "${BLOCKPATH}" ]; then exit 1 fi REMOVABLE="${BLOCKPATH}/removable" DEVICE="$(readlink -f "${BLOCKPATH}/device")" IS_REMOVABLE="0" if [ -e "$REMOVABLE" ]; then IS_REMOVABLE="$(cat $REMOVABLE)" fi if [ "$IS_REMOVABLE" = "1" ] || check_bus "usb" || check_bus "ieee1394" ; then echo 1 else echo 0 fi exit 0 Nothing here leads me to believe this is how the automounting happens. I also looked at my Ubuntu udev scripts and rules and saw nothing there. Can someone enlighten me otherwise?
