Why do you think this is for 2.4? So it is. I was mistaken because it was late at night, and I read this entry in the to-do list: + * -- use serial numbers to hook onto same hosts (same minor) after disconnect That feature is present in usb-storage for 2.4 but not 2.6, so I assumed there would be no reason to add it to ub for 2.6 either.
