I am sorry my comments have been misunderstandable and caused this bug to be set to invalid even if it may be valid.

My first comment was made to point to solution, that is possible with new kernels.
The second to point out that USB_PERSIST should better be patched to check USB IDs when somone fixes this bug by enabling USB_PERSIST for usb-storage devices in ubuntu.

Ubuntu 8.04 does NOT yet make use of USB_PERSIST with usb-storage devices.
Devices get mounted on different positions, breaking old mounts points that stay around.

If nobody has fixed this,
this bug is probably still valid.

If the design says to break usb mounts,
this bug may be a valid bug to fix the design.
