Also. what does /proc/bus/usb/devices have to say about this devie? Does it show up as one device, or two in the list? It would probably help to do something like: Device unplugged: cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > /tmp/devices.tmp Plug in device: diff /proc/bus/usb/devices /tmp/device.tmp Now, if you unplug the device with unmounting it, the system should complain but handle it. But it may tie up the SCSI device letter for a while - at least until things time out. But getting two devices the first time you plug it in is even stranger. I am hoping looking at the USB information for the device will help. It would also help to have the log messages from when you plug in/remove the device. If nothing else, it will help in determining where to file a bug report. (Is it a driver problem, a udev problem, a HAL problem, a gnome-mount problem? Or a problem with how the device complies with the USB standards?) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
