Dischi,

Can you please explain to me how usbtorage.py is meant to funtion with
refference to usb.py?

I can't see any refference to calling mount or umount..  I'm happy to
make this my first contribution, but need your advice as to how its
meant to work..

Its such a simple process that I don't see the need to patch a kernel or
install another dependancy to get it going..

This should be easy enough to hack once I know *how* its meant to work
