Neil,

If I've properly understood your commit message you are reducing the 
frequency of the rescans, but they can still occur. I submit that this 
merely reduces the probability but does not remove the possibility of 
races with udev.

If my interpretation is correct, then is this something that should be 
fixed (to remove the possibility of races altogether), or merely documented?

Thanks, Jan
