Hi,

I have an usb hard drive that is well matched in my udev rules :
Code:

serveur rules.d # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/02-Maxtor-3200.rules
BUS=="usb"
KERNEL=="sd[a-z]*"
SUBSYSTEM=="block"
SYSFS{model}=="3200            "
NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="backup_hd%n"


But I don't want this drive to appear on the kde desktop. So, I don't want the event beeing passed to HAL or I don't want HAL to take care of this event. (This is a drive that must be kept hidden for backups only)

What should I do ?

Regards,

I think there is a way to tell KDE to specifically not show that drive without hiding it from HAL or anything like that. Unfortunately I forgot how... Look around in the "storage media" applet in Kicker and see if that does what you want it to do.
