Of course trying to moubnt /dev/sdx errors. I want to use this with pam_usb but until it is recognised correctly I can't.
How about just creating a rule with the NAME{all_partitions} type rule in it? That function was added to udev just because of this issue. See the manpage for more information.
I am going round in circles with this one can you supply and example? Sorry if I am being a bit stupid on this one but udev is new to me. Thanks Colin
Please read the udev man pages, and the udev HOWTO for more information about creating a rule for your device that tells udev to create all partition entries for your device.
