Use the following command: lsmod | grep usb_storage although I wouldn't rely on it. My 11.2 desktop[0] auto-mounts my phone, usb drives, keys and memory cards without the kernel loading the usb_storage module. However, it would be an idea to compare any differences between the modules loaded by Fedora and openSUSE, if there are any, and also to look at /var/log/messages from both OSes as you insert and removed the two drives. You can use: sudo tail -f /var/log/messages to watch it in real time. [0] KDE4.3.5.

Today they don't, and there was no update in that time. Unless it is a delayed reaction? I may have changed a setting in kde that caused it, but I looked today and can't find a kde setting related to auto-mounts or USB. I can manually mount the drive and get full access.
