I have a device that is recognized just fine, but I'd really like to declare it an un-device. I don't want any /dev/ files created for it, I don't want the driver loaded unless something else needs it. I want it to disappear from creation completely. Can custom udev rules do this? Specifically, the device is the incredibly annoying fake CD drive that appears along side my usb hard disk when I plug it in.
