identify usb device

[shortcircuit]

i have several different types, brands, makes and models of usb devices (drives) and i was wondering if it would be possible to code a method of doing different things with different types of thumb drives

i have a neuros audio computer that works like a usb drive, but the apps to sync music with are all hardcoded to look for the neuros mounted at neuros/ (witch is gay) I also have a normal thumb drive

i want to code an app to automagicly mount a usb device with user specifyed unique descriptors (from lsusb -v) to a different mount point.

i know in ubuntu gnome-vfs does the mounting, udev does the naming, and hotplug does the calling. what i dont know is on what level my app should interface

this is the output from lsusb i wanted to use to trigger the alternate mount point:

[code]
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 1.01
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 16
idVendor 0x0451 Texas Instruments, Inc.
idProduct 0x5409
bcdDevice 0.01
iManufacturer 1 Digital Innovations
iProduct 2 NEUROS Digital Audio Device
iSerial 3 0A010F030C0A0109060A000D000C0101
bNumConfigurations 1
[code/]

the serial number seems like a good bit of information to use to identify a unique device

Hi shortcircuit

I know its been a while since you posted this but you might want to check out Sutekh guide for creating mount rules that uniquely ID devices.
