I forgot to mention that the only thing I really miss about not having the fs-sync and automatic mount-point creation is that the devices are mounted to generic mount points instead of the nice custom ones that older HAL did. Example from new HAL: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 119M 22M 98M 18% /media/usb1 /dev/sdb1 112G 76G 37G 68% /media/usb2 /dev/sdc1 492M 200K 492M 1% /media/usb3 /dev/sdd1 250M 61M 190M 25% /media/usb4 Now from a machine with old HAL (note this is a SCSI based main hard disk so the devices start at /dev/sdb: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb1 119M 22M 98M 18% /media/TRAVELDRIVE /dev/sdc1 112G 76G 37G 68% /media/WDC_Combo /dev/sdd1 492M 200K 492M 1% /media/usbdisk /dev/sde1 250M 61M 190M 25% /media/MINI-CRUZER Here is output from lsusb: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0545:8080 Xirlink, Inc.
