Note that a list of kernel device names is available at:
  http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/devices.txt

I have filtered out non-block devices and cut down duplicates (You don't
need to know all the exact names of the various devices that match
/dev/sd.*), and attached this file as Linux_block_devices3. However it
is still quite large:

$ cat Linux_block_devices3 | grep -o '/dev/[^[:space:]]*' | wc -l
166

I am guessing that we don't want to automatically mount /dev/ram*, and
we probably don't care whether RiscPC devices are mounted (I doubt that
Ubuntu officially supports them), but it seems that most of the devices
on that list should be automatically mounted (e.g. why someone would use
a pre-ADAPI cdrom these days I don't know, but since the kernel supports
them so should Ubuntu). One of the more important device types that
seems to missing from the list above is scd*.
