Comment 6 for bug 269177

When inserted, the ironkey creates two block devices. In my case, /dev/scd1, which is an emulated USB cd-rom containing the unlock program, which gets automatically mounted, and /dev/sdb which appears as a removeable media usb storage device. To unlock, you need write access directly to /dev/sdb. Once unlocked, the media is "inserted" into /dev/sdb. It is an unpartitioned disk, by default, so there is no partition table on /dev/sdb. I'll include the output of /dev/sdb and /dev/scd1. It appears that my user (jbebel) gets write access to /dev/scd1, but not /dev/sdb.
