This is not true.

In jaunty :
drive-harddisk-usb , and all drive-* labels are used for unmounted drives
gnome-dev-harddisk-usb and all gnome-* > was used for mounted drives

I am very sure , of this [gnome-* and dev-* difference] since this was how it always worked for me in Jaunty.

But , In karmic:
drive-harddisk-usb > is used for external usb storage devices
drive-removable-media-usb > is used for pen drives

Now icons seem to be using only the drive-* labels , and there is no distinction between the mount and unmount states , also see bug > Bug #406377

Ideally, the gnome-dev-* icons need to be used for the mount states and the drive-* labels for the unmount states.
