For example I have a usb drive that will show up as da1 so as a test I just want to write something to syslog when it is plugged in. This is what I have tried in devd.conf: notify 20{ match "system" "DEVFS"; match "subsystem" "CDEV"; match "type" "CREATE"; match "cdev" "da[1-9]+"; action "logger you plugged in some usb device"; }; notify 20{ match "system" "USB"; match "subsytem" "DEVICE"; match "type" "ATTACH"; action "logger some type of usb thing attached"; }; With either of these the message does not get logged. I have tried different priorities and that doesn't make a difference. I have also tried using attach instead of notify and that seems to trigger something, but then I get an error message: SCSI sense: UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 (Not ready to ready change, medium may have changed) Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -- Rod Person http://www.rodperson.com "You aint ready, yet." - Michael L.
