USB mass-storage hell

USB mass-storage hell

[Christian Axelsson]

I have this USB harddrive and a USB mp3-player, when I plug them in 
would like them to be mounted at /mnt/hd and /mnt/mp3 by auto.
Is this possible using 2.6 and some supermount-like daemon?

Also, the device I plugin first becomes /dev/sda1 and the second 
/dev/sda2 (using devfs) so I cant rely upon device names here to do 
anything. Is there any ID of the USB-device aviable somewhere that can 
be of any use?

Look at sysfs and the lsscsi application.

Look at devlabel.

Look at udev.
