Hi all,

Today I switched from devfsd to udev. Having read [1] I figured it wouldn't
be too hard to write my own udev rules for my photo cameras. So, I started
with my old camera first. After plugging in the camera I quickly found out it
was on /dev/sda1. Then I proceeded as follows:

The command "udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda" gave me "/block/sda"

Looking at the output of "udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sda/" I found:

    BUS="usb"
    ID="2-1"
    SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}="1"
    SYSFS{bDeviceClass}="00"
    SYSFS{bDeviceProtocol}="00"
    SYSFS{bDeviceSubClass}="00"
    SYSFS{bMaxPower}="100mA"
    SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}="1"
    SYSFS{bNumInterfaces}=" 1"
    SYSFS{bcdDevice}="0100"
    SYSFS{bmAttributes}="c0"
    SYSFS{detach_state}="0"
    SYSFS{devnum}="5"
    SYSFS{idProduct}="0102"
    SYSFS{idVendor}="07b4"
    SYSFS{manufacturer}="OLYMPUS"
    SYSFS{maxchild}="0"
    SYSFS{product}="C150,D390"
    SYSFS{serial}="S401002027"
    SYSFS{speed}="12"
    SYSFS{version}=" 1.10"

Following the line of reasoning in the howto, I made a 10-local.rules and used
the following rule:

    BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="S401002027", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="olympus"

As you might have guessed by now, this didn't work... otherwise I wouldn't
have to post here :-) Any clue on what I'm doing wrong? Hints?

    Cheers

        Bas
