For security reasons i have to block all USB mass storage ports.

I have try :

-------------------------------------------------------
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf - blacklist usb_storage
-------------------------------------------------------
# ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko
# mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko /root
-------------------------------------------------------
sudo rmmod usb_storage
sudo modprobe -r usb_storage
-------------------------------------------------------
None of this is working.

The only thing that is working is automount option. If i [sic] disable this ( in
gconf ) it will not load USB auto start, but when you start nautilus [sic] you can
still see "Verbatim USB storage" and you can access it.

How to block usb [sic] mass storage ?

I don't believe that Java has the ability to do that.

This is a rather OS-specific matter. Perhaps something in the OS docs might
help you?
