Frequently Asked Questions

To achieve this you'll need to add udev rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/custom.rules. For example bound USB stick with name "DataTraveler 2.0" to /dev/mobilex add following rule:

BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{model}=="DataTraveler 2.0", NAME{all_partitions}="mobile"

This will create a bunch of /dev/mobilex files instead of /dev/sdx files:

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 5 Jul 28 16:06 /dev/mobile

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 1 Jul 28 16:06 /dev/mobile1

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 10 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile10

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 11 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile11

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 12 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile12

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 13 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile13

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 14 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile14

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 15 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile15

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 2 Jul 28 16:06 /dev/mobile2

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 3 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile3

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 4 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile4

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 5 Jul 28 16:06 /dev/mobile5

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 6 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile6

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 7 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile7

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 8 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile8

brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 9 Jul 28 15:44 /dev/mobile9

Now you can mount the first partition to /mnt:

mount /dev/mobile1 /mnt
