udev rule for BackupHDD is created #6

Closed M-Welsch closed 8 months ago

M-Welsch commented 8 months ago

Description

We want a udev rule so we can mount the BackupHDD by typing mount BackupHDD

What happens if we don't do it (aka Why is it important)?

We would have to determine ourselves under which devicenode (like /dev/sdxY) the backuphdd registers. Linux provides udev which we can utilize

Definition of Ready

we know how to fingerprint our backup drive

Key Tasks

[x] create a file like /etc/udev/rules.d/99-backupserver.rules with content like (CAREFUL: EXAMPLE!!)

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0951", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1666", SYMLINK+="BASE_USB_STICK"

Acceptance Criteria

[x] the backup drive appears as /dev/BACKUPHDD when it is connected and powered
