Yes indeed. The SCSI entry is 

-
class: HD
bus: SCSI
detached: 0
device: sda
driver: ignore
desc: "Generic STORAGE DEVICE"
host: 9
id: 0
channel: 0
lun: 0
generic: sg1
-


and adding 'match hd "Generic STORAGE DEVICE"' in the flash entry in
/etc/updfstab.conf.default works. Thanks a lot. Is there some logic to
why the USB product description works for some flash drives and not
for others?
