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.
Because your algorithm is completely wrong. As proof of that, why not look at the HAL code for how it does the logic of detecting the drive type. As you are replacing the HAL code, it probably would be best if you copy how it works pretty identically in order to ensure that everything works the same.
I still cannot understand why it is impossible to make USB devices to bear a special name like the CD/DVD ones do.
I still can not understand why what we have previously explained has not been sufficient in order to explain this :) greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
