look how dphys-setup-[cdrom|floppy|zip] work
  thex do: modprobe, clean fstab, umount, rm mpoint, chgrp/chmod, new fstab
look how hotplug works, in the end /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage
  is here already linked to /usr/sbin/dphys-drivemount.sh
    from dphys-setup-drivemount from /usr/share/dphys-setup-drivemount/usr/sbin

2004.11.11 Thu
heeb dphys-drivemount.sh is old dsbg experiment, didn't work, no device anymore
  removed and also /etc/hotplug/usb, deinstalled dphys-setup-drivemount
hotplug.functions load_drivers(), script also when module, wenn loaded it
  testwise plugged in iomega 80G HD, looked at logs what happens, syslog best
/etc/hotplug/usb scripts only when drivers loaded, first device, unusable
  so we can not use /sbin/hotplug, need wrapper around it
  /sbin/dphys-hotplug script that calls /sbin/hotplug, then does our stuff
    /sbin/dphys-hotplug-usb and then /sbin/dphys-hotplug-usb-storage
hotplug gives /proc/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>, /proc/bus/usb/devices gives serial
  /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1 with serial gives host* number as filename

2004.11.12 Fri
variable amount mountpoints, /<drive>, when multiple partitions /<drive>/part*
  unique /<drive> from what? user knows manufacturer, poss type, not serial nr

2004.11.24 Wed
hotplug usb ACTION=add gives also DEVICE=/proc/bus/usb/002/002
  sed -ne '/^T:  Bus=02 .*Dev#= *3/,/^T:  /{/^S:  SerialNumber/p}' \
      /proc/bus/usb/devices
    gives then   S:  SerialNumber=11100E00005E2A18
  grep 'Serial Number: 11100E00005E2A18' /proc/scsi/usb-storage-*/* /dev/null
    gives then   /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1:Serial Number: 11100E00005E2A18
  grep 'Host scsi' /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1
    gives then   Host scsi1: usb-storage
  mount /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /usb-storage
    works then, but needs partition differentiation
  for remove data is missing, so also file /var/.../002/002 with /usb-storage
mountpoint name, systematic /usr-<vendor>-<product>[-<no>]
  reading out label work for ext2, but what with vfat which most people have?
    would be ideal as consistant for device, bur senseless as nobody sets it
  vfat can be handled by mlabel, if allways rewriting ~/.mtoolsrc u:
software generic dphys-hotplug to usb/etc demux /etc/dphys-hotplug/usb.d/*
  then in that dphys-hotplug-usb-storage script, for each device, tests type

at boot no call of ${`cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug`}, direct call to agent
  either change /etc/hotplug/*.rc, or put code in /etc/hotplug/*.agent
    or simply ignore inserted stick when boot, pull out/reinsert works anyway
dphys-hotplug started, calls /sbin/hotplug and /etc/dphys-hotplug.d/<ev-type>.*

grab problem with USB stick, does not mount with root:floppy,007
  rubis test with his stick doesn't mount at all, is not even partitioned
  dphys-hotplug improved output (list of scripts) and debug logs
packaged version 20050121.165052-1, changelog:
  "list script names, better logging"

2005.01.28 Fri
now quite a bit of code and functionality, not just keep as internal stuff
  dphys-hotplug website: FAQ, INSTALL, Logfile, README, debian, index.html.en
debug also added support like in dphys-hotplug-usb-storage, updated man page
packaged version 20050128.173540-1, changelog:
  "added website, improved docs, debug like in usb.storage"

2005.02.17 Thu
extended to also support /etc/dphys-hotplug.d/*-* script names
packaged version 20050217.153733-1, changelog:
  "extended to support /etc/dphys-hotplug.d/*-* script names"

2005.02.14 Thu
read article on 2.6 hotplug and udev: http://lwn.net/Articles/123932/
  already does calling of random scripts from binary /sbin/hotplug
    looks like this program will not be needed on 2.6 systems

2006.05.12 Fri
in /etc/init.d/dphys-hotplug added test for 2.4 kernel, else abort activation
packaged version 20060512.134029-1, changelog:
  "only activate if 2.4 kernel family"

2006.05.17 Wed
fixed up stdio filehandles delivered by kernel to /dev/null
  so that  set -e  can be udes in subscripts, without  grep  or  sed  failing
  while at it added  set -e  also to this script, and init.d script
packaged version 20060517.154425-1, changelog:
  "fix up stdio filehandles delivered by kernel to /dev/null"

2006.08.11 Fri
