+The webapp only shows drives the user can write to, because
+in general, there are a vast number of mounted things in modern
+OS's that the user would be very puzzled to see listed as removable
+drives. Such as tmpfs and cgroup mount points, and efi boot partitions.
+Complicating the webapp with knowledge to filter such things out would be a
+constantly losing battle.
+
+I guess it would be ok to add a "not listed here?" link in the webapp
+that allowed chosing from a full list or entering the path by hand.
