Currently all devices supported by umass driver are listed in * sys/dev/usb/usbdevs - which has vendor table (vendor-id/name) - and product table (ref-to-vendor-id/product-id/name) and * sys/dev/usb/umass.c - which has some per-device flags. The problem with this way is that some people might want to disable umass for particular devices. For example some people prefer to use gphoto2 with usb-cameras and gphoto2 needs the device to be ugen. I suggest device specific information should be moved from sys/dev/usb/usbdevs and sys/dev/usb/umass.c to some text file (ex. /etc/umass-devices) which would be read by umass driver when it's loaded. This way users will be able to easily remove/add entries without the need to recompile the module. Yuri
