Serious question, what and how? If I scan /sys/block for example for potential candidates, that won't give me the devices or tell me the name udev decided to use for it in /dev. And I'm not sure how to know if something is cdrom-ish and SG_IO able from sysfs. Should I filter on driver name? But then, I don't know which names are acceptable (*cdrom* ?)... Or maybe I should go through the fad-of-the-day, hal/dbus?
