It's a block device driver for USB storage which I wrote recently. Arjan enabled it in Rawhide, obviously to get reports such as yours.

For some reason hald sometimes loses its mind when it sees ub. I have no idea what is happening. I run FC2 with updates, everything seems operating normally when I debug ub. I did not see us shipping device nodes for ub, so if hald manages to open ub, it must be creating device nodes on the fly, by reading /proc/devices or /proc/partitions. Userland is some crazy stuff these days...

I think the situation with removable media is already unstable enough without adding in more major changes less than a week from a freeze!
