I'm interested to know how udevd works.
A 5-yr old slackware-based CD is nice :
 it auto-mounts every /dev/hda that `fdisk -l` sees,
 and gives me an answer for any `<cmnd> -h`
 instead of SOMETIMES saying "try --help".
 
But it seems not able to mount USB, if not connected at boot-time.
`lsusb` doesn't see USBs plugged after booting; nor `dmesg |tail`.

`pstree` shows the udevd
Isn't that supposed to detect newly plugged USBs?
