Rob:

	Thanks for the tip.

	What sort of identifiers about a particular physical device like
this are values that udev can use to fingerprint a subsystem?  How can I
query something currently plugged in now for details?  I didn't see much in
the man pages for udev to elaborate.

	Also, I use a rotating set of small USB drives so that some are
always off site, in case of fire.  Only one of these is attached at a time.
Can multiple fingerprints (I'm guessing each drive will look different) be
assigned to the same device node by udev?

-------------------------
udev can create specific device names based on what disk you plug in.
