Since this will probably take some time to do it would be good if you could first put Bernd's patch in, and then later when you really move it move it together with all other exceptions. Otherwise there is a risk that it gets lost.

The only think which it making it take any time is that people keep insisting I put it in the kernel. Once we do that, hotplug has nothing to do, so they never do anything.

It's only like 3 lines of hotplug script...

For me, it's not obvious where to put it. As far as I can see from the kernel log, the hotplug mechanism doesn't get involved until after the kernel has detected the SCSI drive - and then, getting at the USB vendor&device ID is guesswork (going into /sys/$DEVICE/device/../../.. - is this guaranteed to stay that way?). Maybe if you export the ids into the SCSI block device sysfs directory, we could talk about 3 lines of hotplug script. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/
