I have a device that I want to handle specially. While it advertises usb-storage capabilities (and PTP), I do NOT want the kernel (or the hotplug system) to try to mount it as a filesystem. I just want "raw" access enabled.

More details:

I have already tweaked my /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap to do my own device-specific startup. But I still get this in my /var/log/messages:

  kernel: sym53c875-0-<0,*>: FAST-20 WIDE SCSI 40.0 MB/s (50.0 ns, offset 15)
  kernel: Device not ready.  Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
  kernel: sdb : READ CAPACITY failed.
  kernel: sdb : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
  kernel: Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready
  kernel: sdb : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.
  kernel:  sdb: I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
  kernel:  I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
  kernel:  unable to read partition table

I don't want the kernel to even bother trying. Honest. I'm running RedHat 9 with what appears to be a fairly recent version of usb and hotplug; I keep the system "up2date".

I think this is more of a "users" question than a "devel" question since I have no interest in hacking the kernel itself or libusb or changing hotplug; instead, as a "user", I just don't want this USB device to get autodetected as being mountable as filesystem, and I'm happy to edit the config files as needed if that's sufficient. Of course, if there's no way to do that, I could see this as a "devel" question.
