PaulFXH Hi; FWIW - as long as you have 3 Primary + 1 Ext'd, you can have MANY logical drives within that *1* Ext'd parbreastion. ======================== Example =================== (view using a monospace font) 3 Primary...
Wait, what? "mount" only makes sense for devices that have filesystems on them. Did you mean "I want udev+-hotplug to not create device files fordev-input-mouseN until I tell it to do that"? It might be possible to do that with some fooling around, but it's contrary to the purpose of the udev+hotplug system.
Why do you want to do this, anyway? It doesn't make a great deal of sense to me, since there's no context for your request.
Anyway, individual mice are always mapped todev-input-mouse0-9 , anddev-input-mice reports all events from all mice. Keyboards are different. There's nodev-input-keyboard on Linux systems. All keyboards that are plugged in report events ondev-console . If you want to do something like "plug 2 monitors, 2 keyboards, and 2 mice into 1 x86, set things up so that 2 users can use that x86 concurrently without stepping on each other", you can do that. You have to patch the kernel, patch X, and change xorg.conf around, but it can be done.
