I found this by tailing the messages log One way this can happen is if you forgot to umount it. Automount (aka autofs) is a cool service that monitors the mountpoint (ie, /mnt/flash or whatever) and dynamically mounts the associated device on access. Then a configurable period after the last access, eg, 2 seconds, it automatically and cleanly unmounts the device. usbautomount (see the URL in my sig) uses this to make USB devices accesses a lot simpler. > I find that plugging the camera into the computer changes things as > well. USB needs more work from my point of view. There is a devlabel service as well that can make available /dev/sdn at a fixed alias depending on what it is, but I didn't look into it yet. - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAqNiAjKeDCxMJCTIRAnPTAKCDUklFoHP2dyazM1ByrbQoxpLl6wCfSphJ 7yT0OUvJiac4/MeX33c7rcQ= =mrSh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
