maybe instead of figuring out where your device is mapped you could use udev rules to enforce a mapping. udev rules are usually defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/, the format is described in http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html for example i use the following rules to map a usb stick on the first usb controller of an embedded device to /dev/usbhda: KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNELS=="1-1:1.0", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", SYMLINK="usbhda" KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNELS=="1-1:1.0", ACTION=="add", SYMLINK="usbhda%n" the application could use inotify(7) to watch /dev and be informed when the device node is added or removed -- Matthias Kaehlcke Embedded Linux Engineer Barcelona If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else (Laurence J.
