volume.* properties on usb stick

[Massimo Maiurana]

hi all,
I'm trying to make my slack-12.2 system to automatically handle an usb
mass storage device, but no luck until now.

I have a little mp3 player which is correctly shown on my brother's pc
running ubuntu.
when I plug it in my pc udev correctly see it, loads the mass-storage
driver, assign the stick to the /dev/sda node and also create symlinks
in /dev/disk/*/.
hal recognize the new hardware but, for what I understand, doesn't
realize it is a disk, as this device doesn't have any volume.* or
storage.* properties set. you can read in the bottom of this email what
was added in the lshal output on stick insertion.

can you point me to a direction where I can investigate? what is
responsible for setting the correct properties for the device?

thanks in advance.
