It's not necessarily so much for the mount case as much as for being able to have a consistent and understandable way to refer to disks during the install as much as the afterwards parts. But we need to be able to refer to a specific disk during a kickstart, for example, and usb-storage can really throw off people's expectations there. One thing that might be worth looking at is having usb-storage loaded later so that we only have to think about the reload (or the naming) as a concern for the case where the user has used a driver disk on some kind of usb storage Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
