When watch rule is disabled/removed in udev rules - your udev db becomes
invalid when i.e. you run command like 'mkfs' - since the udev db will not
be updated to list information about newly formatted filesystem.
Of course there are many cases where disabling watch rule makes sense
(i.e. you export lots of disks to virtual guests) - but unless you are
familiar with udev and you know what you are doing - think twice before disabling.
