I don't want this unless the Nautilus UI changes to support the one-to-
many model.  Having two or more volumes appear when a user clicks on one
drive is disorienting.  Also, having more than one volume disappear when
one volume is unmounted also sucks.  Ideally Nautilus should show
relationships between the drives and volumes.

I already have code called dphoto from desrt on #gnome-hackers that uses
a dbus service to marshal access to a device.  It also has a gnome-vfs
component.  All that is needed is to make the vfs component use the usb
device and bus identifiers and to make it more robust.
