 |
|
This is kind of a weird problem, there are several devices that i want to fully control as a normal user(usbdisks, ipod, .....)
Now the problem is, udev makes the GROUP privileges readonly(didn't do that in old versions???), and i need write access on these:
| Code: | brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 16 Feb 27 11:31 /dev/sdb
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 17 Feb 27 11:31 /dev/sdb1
brw-r----- 1 root plugdev 8, 18 Feb 27 11:31 /dev/sdb2
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 19 Feb 27 11:31 /dev/sdb3
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 32 Feb 27 10:34 /dev/sdc
brw-r----- 1 root plugdev 8, 33 Feb 27 10:34 /dev/sdc1
|
How can i make the group privileges +rw permanently?
using "chmod 660" has no use, since i'd need to run it everytime I plugin a disk/device
tnx in advance  |

This is what *custom* udev rules are for, e.g /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules
| Code: | | KERNEL=="sd*", GROUP="whateveryouwant", MODE="0660" |

The trick is to see how udev itself does things.
| Code: | | grep sd /etc/udev/rules.d/* |
