Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: devicekit-disks
Release of Ubuntu: Karmic
Package Version: 007-2ubuntu3
Expected Results: When a WD external drive is plugged in, the SmartWare Virtual
CD is not detected or mounted.
Actual Results: The SmartWare Virtual CD is detected and mounted.
The SmartWare Virtual CD partition on these drives is useless in Linux.
It includes Windows/Mac utilities only, and is not usable space. This
portion of the drive should probably be ignored on Linux desktops.
Here is relevent output of "devkit-disks --dump":
