I agree with you,there have been major improvements with UDEV, HAL and hotplug. Everything usually works as expected, however I have seen some problems while unmounting USB drives. It seems that gam_server (located in /usr/libexec) sometimes blocks some file in the USB drive and I can't unmount it saying that the device is busy. The only way to solve the problem is killing the process. Have you experienced this problem? -William
