i posted this mail to linux-hotplug mailing list but i havent even recieved
a single reply :(, so am posting  it here ...i have finally written an udev
rule to perform some action when usb gets added...here is the rule,

BUS=="usb", ACTION=="add", NAME="usb%n", RUN+="/usr/bin/mount-usb.sh usb%n"

The problem am facing is with the %n value. I want this value passed to the
script so that i can easily identify the device created as /dev/usb%n and i
can mount /media/usb%n. But the %n  value is null in NAME and 1 in RUN for
my thumbdrive. By default, my thumbdrive gets created in /dev/sda if this
rule is excluded and no further partitions as this is the only one.

how to overcome this?

thanks in advance...

Regards.
