[KLUG Members] udev problem

[Bruce Damkoehler]

This isn't a udev suggestion, but it its something that I used to do to 
get the same effect. If you give the disk a volume label it should come 
up mounted with that label. You can give it a label when you create the 
filesystem on it, or after the fact. The mechanism varies based on 
filesystem type, but for reiserfs you can do it via "mkfs.reiserfs 
-label your_label /dev/sda1 (or whatever the device is)"  when creating 
the filesystem or via "reisefstune -label your_label /dev/sda1 (or 
whatever the device is)" after the filesystem is created.

It will come up mounted as /mnt/your_label or /media/your_label.
