http://wiki.contribs.org/USBDisks#USB_on_SME_8One of my USB drives is a Western Digital My Passport. As best as I can tell, the script documented on the USBDisks wiki page is not working for this device. It's displaying a CDROM device instead of the ext3 device.

[root@luna /]#
If I add "test" to the if statement, the script seems to work correctly.

/dev/sdb1: label ,file system: ext3 ,uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_f396fe77_0d99_47a6_8f8a_03cb82acdce9
[root@luna /]#
Should this be changed in the wiki?
