  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.
