Hello all,

I want to run a program when a partition becomes visible and unvisible, so I wrote the following udev rule:
Code:

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="01fdb30e-f5a8-424a-8917-c2e215371416", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup.sh start", OPTIONS="last_rule"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="01fdb30e-f5a8-424a-8917-c2e215371416"", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup.sh stop", OPTIONS="last_rule"


problem is, the rules definition doesn't works.
does anyone spots my error?

Thanks.

Maybe rule ordering.

Use a rule filename of > 60, so it is run after the ENV vars have been set up.

I run it in level 80 so I think this isn't the issue

Then debug it.

In /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules (add an additional filter on whatever you're interested in, before the RUN)
Code:
RUN+="/root/bin/test-udev-env"


In /root/bin/test-udev-env
Code:
#!/bin/bash

export > /root/export.txt

And:
Code:
chmod 700 /root/bin/test-udev-env


Then you can see all the ENV variables.

is there a way to trigger the rules sweep and make it verbose?

I didn't got the chance to test it yet but I think that ID_FS_UUID is my issue, I want to detect based on a specific partition, ID_FS_UUID isn't for partitions, ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID is.

so I modified the file to be the following:
Code:

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}=="01fdb30e-f5a8-424a-8917-c2e215371416", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup.sh start", OPTIONS="last_rule"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}=="01fdb30e-f5a8-424a-8917-c2e215371416"", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup.sh stop", OPTIONS="last_rule"


will check it later on today.
