When connecting a Samsun YP-M1 media player, the max_sector setting for USB is set to 240.
With this setting, attempting to put large files on the device hangs everything, as explained in the following thread: http://forums.cnet.com/5208-13973_102-0.html?threadID=366598.

Following the advices of this thread, I put the max_sector setting to 64
and everything went well.

Following the advices for bug #573219, I put the following line in
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb-media-players.rules:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8" , ATTRS{idProduct}=="5123" , ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER
}="samsung-yepp_yp-m1", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo 64 >
/sys/block/%k/device/max_sectors'"

This did the trick and when I connect the device, max_sector is
automatically set to the good value. In fact, it is set for both the
device corresponding to the main memory of the player and also for the
device corresponding to the SC card, which is exactly what I wanted.
