 |
|
I upgraded from udev-090-r1 to udev-094 this weekend, and when I tried to attach my usb hard drive today the custom rules I wrote no longer worked. When I checked syslog, I found this:
| Code: | Jul 5 07:23:00 disco-stu udevd[924]: add_to_rules: invalid SYSFS operation
Jul 5 07:23:00 disco-stu udevd[924]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-brett.rules:1'
Jul 5 07:23:00 disco-stu udevd[924]: add_to_rules: invalid SYSFS operation
Jul 5 07:23:00 disco-stu udevd[924]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-brett.rules:2' |
Here are the rules I was using:
| Code: | BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Maxtor ", NAME="maxtor%n"
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="SanDisk ", SYSFS{model}=="Cruzer Mini ", NAME="cruzer%n" |
It appears that this newer version of udev no longer likes the trailing white space in the SYSFS value. Once I removed the trailing white space (and changed = to == for BUS and SYSFS{}) the rules started working again (I did change the = to == first, and the rules still failed):
| Code: | BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="Maxtor", NAME="maxtor%n"
BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="SanDisk", SYSFS{model}=="Cruzer Mini", NAME="cruzer%n" |
Just thought I'd share my experience as the fix wasn't really apparent and a quick search on google and the forums here didn't turn up any hints.

Thanks for that. I had something similar after an update but it appeared on bootup and the files and rules concerned were slightly different:
| Code: | udevd[1061]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/30-svgalib.rules:1'
udevd[1061]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules:5' |
where the lines concerned were:
| Code: | KERNEL="svga*", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="video"
SUBSYSTEM=="block",ACTION="remove", RUN+="/usr/libexec/hal-unmount.sh" |
Followed your advice and changed them to:
| Code: | KERNEL=="svga*", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="video"
SUBSYSTEM=="block",ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/libexec/hal-unmount.sh" |
Worked fine  |
