I have not seen a non-udev Linux system for quite some time now.

It has mounted it so it should know.

Currently it only woks on devices specified in /etc/pmount.allow
anyway because the removable check is broken.

Anyway, how would it check on a non-udev system when the device node
is present but the device is gone?

Is ENODEV counted as removable?
