Public bug reported:
There are 4 slots on my 7-in-1 USB card reader.
HAL calls them "USB Storage-CFC", "USB Storage-MSC", "USB Storage-SMC" and "USB
Storage-SDC".
HAL has the correct storage.drive_type for the compact flash, memory stick and
smart media slots, but the SD slot has a storage.drive_type of "disk".
In /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-card-readers.fdi I see
why:
<match key="storage.model" contains="Storage-CFC">
<merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">compact_flash</merge>
</match>
<match key="storage.model" contains="Storage-MSC">
<merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">memory_stick</merge>
</match>
<match key="storage.model" contains="Storage-SMC">
<merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">smart_media</merge>
</match>
<match key="storage.model" contains="Storage-MMC">
<merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">sd_mmc</merge>
</match>
HAL expects "Storage-MMC", but I have "Storage-SDC".
So the fix is to add this:
<match key="storage.model" contains="Storage-SDC">
<merge key="storage.drive_type" type="string">sd_mmc</merge>
</match>
