anyone one is building block layer for USB disk? will get /dev/uda?
That already exists -- drivers/block/ub   :)

this one ?

config BLK_DEV_UB

          This driver supports certain USB attached storage devices
          such as flash keys.

          If you enable this driver, it is recommended to avoid conflicts
          with usb-storage by enabling USB_LIBUSUAL.

          If unsure, say N.

I was thinking it should be more faster with less one layer.

I'm not exactly happy with those "one-less-layer" solutions for the devices that are SCSI in nature (like ide-{cd|tape|floppy} or this one) but at least they have a smaller memory footprint than a multi-layer SCSI-based implementation. I hope the "low performace" here means that the devices are slow, not the driver though... :-)
