i casually was reading this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-262696.html where is explained something like you are looking for (i quote the specific post): " 1. Plug your device and mount it usually. Then call udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sda --> you have insert your devices sd* here. You are doing this to get some information about your drive to identify it in a rule file. 2. put your rules file under /etc/udev/rules.d/ with a name like 10-local.rules 3. your rule file should be like KERNEL=="sd*",SYSFS{size}=="308206223",SYMLINK+="mydisk",RUN="your_script" this will create a symbolic link for your device and run your script to mount it. since you named it as mydisk* and not some random sdb5 or stuff, your script will be able to correctly identify it.
