Thanks for that very extensive explanation Patrick. It is much appreciated and though I was going to leave the whole thing as is till another time. I am prompted by the time you have taken to explain this to write more. I didn't try all those attributes in one hit, I tried them individually one after the other and they all choked. I wasn't very clear about that. :-) I don't have /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules But do have /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules I did: # udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda1) I get two entries for the Olympus camera: looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-1/5-1.2/5-1.2:1.0/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0': KERNELS=="0:0:0:0" SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi" DRIVERS=="sd" ATTRS{modalias}=="scsi:t-0x00" ATTRS{ioerr_cnt}=="0x1" ATTRS{iodone_cnt}=="0xd4" ATTRS{iorequest_cnt}=="0xd4" ATTRS{iocounterbits}=="32" ATTRS{timeout}=="30" ATTRS{state}=="running" ATTRS{rev}==" " ATTRS{model}=="FE110/X705 " ATTRS{vendor}=="OLYMPUS " ATTRS{scsi_level}=="0" ATTRS{type}=="0" ATTRS{queue_type}=="none" ATTRS{queue_depth}=="1" ATTRS{device_blocked}=="0" ATTRS{max_sectors}=="240" As well, I get this: looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb5/5-1/5-1.2': KERNELS=="5-1.2" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" DRIVERS=="usb" ATTRS{serial}=="X11017714" ATTRS{product}=="FE110/X705" ATTRS{manufacturer}=="OLYMPUS" ATTRS{quirks}=="0x0" ATTRS{maxchild}=="0" ATTRS{version}==" 1.10" ATTRS{devnum}=="3" ATTRS{busnum}=="5" ATTRS{speed}=="12" ATTRS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="64" ATTRS{bNumConfigurations}=="1" ATTRS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00" ATTRS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00" ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00" ATTRS{bcdDevice}=="0000" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0109" ATTRS{idVendor}=="07b4" ATTRS{bMaxPower}==" 0mA" ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="c0" ATTRS{bConfigurationValue}=="1" ATTRS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1" ATTRS{configuration}=="" ATTRS{dev}=="189:514" Then did: KERNEL=="sda1", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", {serial}=="X11017714", SYMLINK+="cam" This was the error message: -su: {serial}==X11017714,: command not found I then tried the other attributes mentioned above. As far as uuid is concerned, I get an id, but not a uuid, so I tried to enter the appropriate id into /etc/fstab but it didn't take there either. Not the id. There was no uuid i could discover, but forget what command I used to find the id.
