digicam in that USB port and I want to mount it as a USB file system. The
problem is that I don't know which device the USB port is associated with. On my home computer, it is /dev/sdx, but I don't see those options in /dev/
on my laptop.
That leads me to a general Linux question. How are devices assigned? One of my computers assigned /dev/sdx to everything, hard drives, optical drives, USB ports, etc. Another computer assigned /dev/hdx to my hard drives and optical drives, but /dev/sdx to my USB ports.
I also have a KDE question. Is there anyway to automatically mount my camera as a USB file system when it is plugged into my laptop? Is there a way to detect that it is a camera? I don't want to mount *every* USB thing plugged into my laptop as a USB filesystem...
Thanks for the help.
In my case, I have a camera and a usbstick. The usbstick was being recognized with a weird name, and the camera as 'usbstick'. Both appeared in /media when inserted, then I just had to mount them. To have them appearing with the right names, I made a fdi file for each (camera.fdi & usbstick.fdi) that redefined the names of each. Now, using KDE, I could put an icon in my desktop for each of these. When I double-click the icon, it automatically mounts the device (assuming it's connected, of course) and opens Konqueror with it.
