Description Bruno Wolff III 2012-03-20 04:26:34 UTC
Description of problem:
I am not sure when this started, but now when I stick a flash drive (I tried three different kinds) in, the device is detected, but no /dev/sd* file is created.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I tried both udev-182-1.fc17.i686 and udev-181-2.fc17.i686.

How reproducible:
100% so far

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in a usb drive
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

But no /dev/sd* device created.

This looks to be some sort of local configuration issue. It failed the same way on two machines (f17 and f18) at home, but works as expected on an f17 machine at work.
I look to see if I can figure out what's different between the machines.
These have all been yum upgraded between releases several times, so there may be some cruft causing a problem.

Comment 2 Bruno Wolff III 2012-03-24 18:29:13 UTC
Now I am just seeing this on f18. So maybe there is a fix that I just haven't gotten yet.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:56:33 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Lennart Poettering 2015-01-05 02:47:43 UTC
This bug really doesn't appear to be related to any recent version of systemd. Please reopen if you can reproduce this with current, supported versions of Fedora. Thanks.
