Hello,

As the device name of SCSI and USB devices change often I have wrote a
small perl script which read a config file which contains :
a symbolic name (the mount point too, as in fstab file for mount ;-)
the identification 
and the mount options if any.

It do a "camcontrol devlist", found the same substring in the
config file which is beetwen the < > and use the da* or cd* to mount the
device.

Example:
in config file:
flash:SanDisk ImageMate II:-t msdos
The camcontrol reports :
<SanDisk ImageMate II 1.30>        at scbus2 target 1 lun 0 (da2,pass4)
and the script do 
mount -t msdos /dev/da2 /flash

But may be there is the same function in a standard program or a port?

If not, is this script interesting for other users?
