Description Tim Waugh 2004-02-27 10:29:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Shouldn't updfstab have some patterns in its configuration file to
match devices not caught by others but where it's clear what the
devices do?

For example, this entry (it's a USB CF card reader, but it could be
anything) from hwconf:

class: HD
bus: USB
detached: 0
driver: usb-storage
desc: "unknown"
usbclass: 8
usbsubclass: 6
usbprotocol: 50
usbbus: 2
usblevel: 1
usbport: 0
usbdev: 3
vendorId: 0c45
deviceId: 1050

The class, bus, and driver show that this is a USB mass storage device
of some sort, so it would be nice if an fstab entry could be added,
even if the partition number can only be guessed at.

The matching is done on the SCSI entry, not the USB entry.


Comment 2 Tammy Fox 2004-03-01 14:31:28 UTC
Output of /proc/scsi/scsi with card reader inserted:

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-03-02 03:51:28 UTC
Ugh. USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE doesn't really lend itself to any good
name. :/

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-16 04:40:26 UTC
Can you attach /proc/scsi/usb-storage-* when this is attached?

Comment 5 Tammy Fox 2004-04-17 00:11:20 UTC
Created attachment 99504 [details]
output of /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 with device attached

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2004-04-17 02:25:30 UTC
Unfortunately, that really doesn't have *any* distinguishing data. I
suppose we could have a /mnt/stuff entry. :)

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-31 21:59:41 UTC
As updfstab is no longer used in current releases (removable media mounting is
done via HAL, fstab-sync, and gnome-volume-manager), changes to updfstab will
almost certainly not be addressed.
