You can use a nice feature - glabel(8) and create labes for each your flash or camera device. With devfs and devd you can configure special permissions and actions for each device. Not every camera (digital photo) can be detected as an umass storage, but you get an access to this camera with help of graphics/gphoto2. -- WBR, Andrey V. Elsukov
