USB hard drives

[Michael Scully]

Rob:

	Thanks for the tip.

	What sort of identifiers about a particular physical device like
this are values that udev can use to fingerprint a subsystem?  How can I
query something currently plugged in now for details?  I didn't see much in
the man pages for udev to elaborate.

	Also, I use a rotating set of small USB drives so that some are
always off site, in case of fire.  Only one of these is attached at a time.
Can multiple fingerprints (I'm guessing each drive will look different) be
assigned to the same device node by udev?

udev can create specific device names based on what disk you plug in.
