+ If you say Y here and enable the "power/persist" attribute
+ for a USB device, the device's data structures will remain
+ persistent across system suspend, even if the USB bus loses
+ power. (This includes hibernation, also known as swsusp or
+ suspend-to-disk.) The devices will reappear as if by magic
+ when the system wakes up, with no need to unmount USB
+ filesystems, rmmod host-controller drivers, or do anything
+ else.
+
+ WARNING: This option can be dangerous!
+
+ If a USB device is replaced by another of the same type while
+ the system is asleep, there's a good chance the kernel won't
+ detect the change. Likewise if the media in a USB storage
+ device is replaced. When this happens it's almost certain to
+ cause data corruption and maybe even crash your system.
+
+ If you are unsure, say N here.
