I've also added an example. Also, Kay pointed out offlist that the rules can be written to not require a shell script; this actually works KERNEL="sr*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="scd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="pcd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom", NAME="\%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="fd[0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e" KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="floppy", NAME=\"%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e" New patch is attached.
