Good question.
This is what is in my udev.rules:
# USB devices
BUS="usb", KERNEL="hiddev*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="auer[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="legousbtower*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="dabusb*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="cpad[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="lp[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k"
BUS="usb", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", SYMLINK="pilot"
Now, I am not sure which of these would be used for a flash drive, but I can
tell that a few won't be....
