[edit] default udev values
Can this:
SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", SYSFS{product}=="USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644", RUN+="/usr/bin/logitech_applet -s 800"
be changed to this and still function?
SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Logitech", SYSFS{product}=="USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/logitech_applet -s 800"
More specifically, will not specifying NAME and MODE (note that '==' is the comparator operator while '=' defines according to udev manpage) result in the identical default behaviour? --CasbahBoy 23:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] made some changes
Well, I wrote a note about it, but maybe we shold change from SYSFS to ATTRS in the whole howto. I'm to lazy to look up the changelogs to see if they realy chaged the name between some versions.
[edit] sda vs uda
USB devices show up as sda on some users machines and as uda on others. Has something changed?
Udev is as fluid as the /dev nodes she generates

Do we need to answer this question? I propose the removal of that paragraph.. (for what it's worth, I think udev and fstab are completely unrelated in the sense that they don't depend on each other. Of course udev will help you to add some nice tricks to your fstab, but that's it.)
