User Space Driver for USB Storage Devices?
Zarf asks: "With Linux, if you don't like something,
fix it yourself. So when I couldn't get my USB pen-drive to work and none of the canned solutions were satifactory... I took it upon myself to fix Linux. I've posted
my solution in my Slashdot user's journal. But it seems to me that there must be a better way to promote my solution. Where should I post my fix so it can help the most people?"

Maybe you should contact hotplug, so they can consider to either include it in the docs or the package, since it just seems to be a perl hotplug script.
Sorry, but I don't get it. What you're doing is adding the device id's to the usb.usermap. If that's all that's needed, you culd just add it to the driver itself, or wherever it is normally put.
For the script, all it does is load the right modules and mount the device, right?
Loading the modules is what hotplug does, and mounting automatically with sync can be done with supermount.
I'm no usbguru, programmer or bashguru, so maybe I'm missing something...
I'd just contact the people from the usb-storage driver, and the hotplug people, if I had issues with it, and it's not clear to me what your isssue exatly was, and what you really needed to do to fix your issue.
Well, don't worry about that. We can get you back before you leave. (Dr. Who)
