I'd be content with "Reliable", meaning secure+robust. We're already fast; taking a bigger fraction of a second will normally not be noticeable. Cheap -- we're talking Linux here, right? So that set of tradeoffs isn't an issue. > > What is the goal here?

Only for mountable devices. When someone connects a printer, I don't want /etc/fstab involved -- that's a different subsystem. And certain decisions deserve user input, too -- full automation isn't always appropriate. The reason this is a tricky problem is precisely because the various higher level subsystems don't have all that much in common, and creating such commonality can be hard. It's not a USB-only problem. - Dave _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
