=46rom my experience with my (usb-connected) digicam, which shows up as a u=
sb
mass storage device with scsi emulation, it worked like this:
- plug in
- mount
- work
- umount
- unplug

I never noticed any problems and there was no need for any hotplug
scripts... ofcourse, if you want you device to be mounted automagically,
you'll need to use amd or something.
