[KLUG Members] udev problem

[Mike Williams]

Well, I got it to work with the 1394 drive, but the LABEL entry for the 
thumbdrive doesn't seem to work.  I cheated and put the labels in from 
Windows because I couldn't find any way to do it from Linux.  There was 
a really old clunky program called mlabel (I think) that I tried, but it 
clearly wasn't written with Linux in mind.  Before using it you had to 
write a config file mapping /dev files to DRIVE LETTERS!  Add to that 
documentation that's poor even by open source standards, and you get a 
program not worth bothering with.

Anybody feel like guessing why it works for one device but not the other?
