RE: [gentoo-user] help with UDEV and USB flash drive

["Daevid Vincent" <daevid@daevid.com>]

Thanks everybody that was the trick. I settled upon this:

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd?1", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0ef5",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="2202", SYMLINK="istick%n", MODE="0666"

And for my /etc/fstab entry:
/dev/istick1  /mnt/istick  vfat  defaults,noauto,user,umask=000  0 0

Now the second part of this. SOMETIMES, when I plug the stick in (I assume
that's when it happens), KDE gives me a nice little window to view the files
or take no action. But it's not consistent?! What triggers that 'event', and
how can I make it happen all the time?

Also related, is there an easy way to make this stick auto un/mount upon
removal/insertion respectively?

I tried taking out the 'noauto' in fstab, but that didn't do it.

I saw some web search results, but most of them feel outdated, or for other
distros.
