Again, what would you call a USB->ATA disk controller device? The disk
itself is not "removable" in that it thinks it is getting ata commands.
Yet the fact that it is behind a USB connection makes the user think it
is.

And again, what about PCI hotplug disks? There are whole storage
devices out there where you can yank out a disk at any point in time, so
they are "removable" yet the disk itself has no idea it really is that.

Look I just want to have USB devises to be shown with USB drive icon, as it is
in the case of HAL. There is an algorithm for it but not working because the
usb devices
do not use the conventional ub* name.

I still cannot understand why it is impossible to make USB devices to bear a
special name
like the CD/DVD ones do.
