    Kernel developer's, if you don't think this is a kernel regression,
    please ignore this note.

    In FC3, with kernel 2.6.9-1.715_FC3smp, I hotplugged a formatted mini
    external hard drive in a new enclosure into a USB 2.0 hub. I expected
    to find its device node, but could not find it in my maze of USB
    devices. I might have searched further, but, instead, I unplugged it,
    and plugged it into another PC running FC1, with kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.
    I expected to have to reboot to see it, but hotplug worked, and I found
    the hard drive in the Hardware Browser, mounted its partitions, and used
    NFS to copy data into the FC3 machine.

    FC1 provided me an easy way to find the device node for a hotplugged USB
    hard drive, but I found no such easy way in FC3. Is this a regression,
    or is there an easy way that I missed?

    I am sending this note to both the Fedora mailing list and the kernel
    mailing list to find out where the regression is, if any.
