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. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
