I see
config BLK_DEV_UB
tristate "Low Performance USB Block driver"
depends on USB
help
This driver supports certain USB attached storage devices
such as flash keys.
Warning: Enabling this cripples the usb-storage driver.
If unsure, say N.
You might think this is a strong warning already.
But if I have a flash key, I might conclude that I need it.
Especially if the very first attempt to make it work with usb-storage failed.
So, if it is true that lots of people complain, one might consider writing
This driver attempts to support the same devices that usb-storage
supports, but without going through the SCSI layer. It doesnt know
about the special quirks of many devices. Probably you should say N
here and Y for usb-storage. Having both does not work very well.
