When a system has a USB drive present, the system typically names it /dev/d= a0. However, if the system has SATA drives hooked to an LSI controller, or = if the system has SCSI drives, the same drive prefix is used as is for the = USB drive. For our purposes, we'd like to separate the USB drive from the m= ain hard drives as far as the drive prefix is concerned, for example someth= ing like /dev/usb0 would be ideal. I realize this is something that likely = has to be done in the form of a kernel patch, but the question is can it be= easily done?
