I agree with Matt, this should not be done in the kernel. If you don't like seeing the additional LUN, which is really present in the device, do something in HAL or your window manager. That kind of "policy" should not be in the usb-storage driver. If anyone has the git id for the current U3 patch, I'll be glad to revert it. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
