WD>   You're right.  Same for me.  Thanks for pointing it out.

The removable flag specifies whether the drive has removable media;
before flash drives only things like floppy, optical, zip, etc drives
had removable==1.  It also would be accurate for flash card readers.
If thumb drives specify it, then they lie.

The flag is read from the drive's metadata.
