What kind of camera is this? Some can be used via USB mass storage support, |
| 7 |
other's can only be accessed via gphoto2. |

USB mass storage devices are treated just like SCSI devices, no emulation |
| 13 |
needed. |

This is unrelated to USB mass storage. It's SCSI emulation for IDE devices |
| 18 |
(mostly CD writers). |

Udev has nothing to to with SCSI emulation. SCSI emulation happens in the |
| 24 |
kernel, udev runs in userland. However, if you _want_ your SCSI device to |
| 25 |
have a different name than sda1 for example, you have to write a udev rule. |

Yes. Again unrelated to SCSI emulation. The SCSI subsystem will print out a |
| 32 |
line for each new SCSI device, emulated or real. |
