           Summary: USB devices are given names reserved for SCSI ones

The current Lanana devices list
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/device-list/devices.txt reserves sd* name
for SCSI block devices, while USB devices should have name of the type ub*:


USB block devices
        0 = /dev/uba        First USB block device
        8 = /dev/ubb        Second USB block device
        16 = /dev/ubc        Thrid USB block device

But in openSUSE USB devices are actually assigned names in sd* range making
automatic device type detection impossible or difficult. I faced this issue
when making a patch for KDE3 that should detect removable media without hal and
which is based on analysis of /proc/self/mounts entries.

Thus the mtab backend thinks about USB drives as of hard disks.
