--- Comment #3 from Stefan Brüns <stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de> ---
This is caused by a hardware bug.

The SCSI INQUIRY command allows to determine if the medium in a drive is
ejectable or not. This bit should be set for optical drives, tape drives, card
readers, ..., but *not* for flash thumb drives.

Unfortunately, many thumb drives have this bit set, while USB-SATA bridges
fortunately don't. You can see this e.g. in the kernel dmesg output - "sdX:
Attached SCSI [removable] disk".

But we can not ignore this - if we do, we would also remove card readers.
Afterwards, the card slots would be dysfunctional until the computer is
rebooted.
