[maemo-developers] USB hotplug mechanism?

Mon Mar 10 15:16:07 EET 2008

What is the mechanism in OS2008 that automatically mounts memory drives and launches File manager when a USB memory stick is connected? 

Well, it seems that this is somehow based on UDEV and HAL. Right?  I found the following interesting files...  

/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-usb-cable
/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-mmc

/usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-mount
/usr/lib/hal/hal-unmount.sh

... is there anyone who could clarify this mechanism a bit?  And what is the best way if I would like to change that behaviour? - e.g. to lauch some other program instead of File manager when a certain USB stick is connected...
