I have two flash drives: a 128MB MicroAdvantage and a 256 SanDisk secure
digital card (relic of a camera that died) that is plugged into a
SanDisk SD card reader. They get plugged into a USB cable which snakes
around from a port on a USB 2 card on the back of my box to a convenient
spot near my keyboard. Whichever one is seen first reads OK. It doesn't
matter whether it is plugged in before or after boot.
The problem: if I umount the device, unplug it, then plug the other one
in & attempt to mount it, I get a "not a valid block device" error.
FWIW, XP has no trouble with this. XP can even tell the devices
apart--mounts one as drive J:, the other as drive K:.
What can I do to make Linux recognize the second device to be plugged in?
The applicable entry in /etc/fstab is:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbhd auto noauto,rw,umask=0,users 0 0
The device is "sdb1" because I have a small SCSI disk which is "sda1".
Although not a major problem, this IS a considerable annoyance. Any help
will be much appreciated.
