You're right -- some of the udev rules posted above are overly general. You can make them more specific by specifying the model of drive, or even the drive serial number if you want to be that specific. Here's the contents of my udev rule file, "/etc/udev/rules.d/50-fix_usb_hd.rules". Notice the ATTRS{model}, specifying the drive model. # /etc/udev/rules.d/50-fix_usb_hd.rules SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{vendor}=="Seagate", ATTRS{model}=="FreeAgentDesktop", RUN+="/usr/bin/usbhdfix %k" You can display the drive's model name (and other drive-specific stuff that you could query on) with this command: udevinfo --attribute-walk --name=/dev/sdc (where /dev/sdc is where your drive's currently located) -- USB mass storage stops working after a while https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
