Description David Zeuthen 2006-02-23 16:48:51 UTC

There are at least two problems in the way udev handles IDE zip drives

 1. We really need to create all the 15 child device nodes in advance.. HAL
relies on that.. E.g. I only see /dev/hdd, I really ought to see /dev/hdd1
through /dev/hdd15 as well even when no media is inserted

 2. There's a loop where udev spins when I insert media and do a blockdev
--rereadpt /dev/hdd - will attach the output

I'm using udev-084-4. I can test RPM's if you want (since IDE Zip drives are not
common place anymore I don't expect you to own one.)

I'm marking this as a FC5Blocker.

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2006-02-28 16:27:25 UTC

This problem is still present in udev-084-6! It is a regression from FC4.

50-udev.rules

would that 50-udev.rules fix the problem??

Comment 4 David Zeuthen 2006-02-28 19:32:11 UTC

Fixes only half of the problem... I still don't get all_partitions.. but at
least udev now refuses to invoke volume_id on this disk..

BUS=="ide", KERNEL=="hd[a-z]", SYSFS{removable}=="1", \
        ENV{ID_MODEL}=="IOMEGA_ZIP*",   NAME="%k", OPTIONS+="all_partitions"

This is the problem I think.. The model name isn't mentioned in the database..
will attach contents of 'udevinfo -e'

output of udevmonitor -e == my udev database

Comment 6 David Zeuthen 2006-02-28 19:35:20 UTC

However..

# cat /proc/ide/hdd/model
IOMEGA ZIP 100 ATAPI

may udev needs to read ID_MODEL from /proc/ide/%k/model?

typo in the last rules, try this one

Comment 9 David Zeuthen 2006-03-01 16:37:17 UTC

udev-084-8 works great for me, thanks!
