Hello Peter,

Zhu, Peter J [2009-12-17 9:05 +0800]:

I'm asking if the function of the three storage related files are COVERED(NOT used) by DK-disks or udisks.

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding then.

10-usb-card-readers.fdi: This has been split between looking at what the kernel detects for us (in src/device.c), and some special cases in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-devkit-disks.rules, so this is covered.

10-ide-drives.fdi: This contained some hardware/kernel bug workarounds (which aren't in devkit-disks). The ZIP/JAZ properties are supported by dk-disks, but AFAICS these particular rules for identifying them haven't been transformed into udev rules, so that's missing.

20-broken-usb-sticks.fdi: There is no udev rule equivalent for those as far as I can see. It seems to me that this indeed needs to be fixed.
