Hi all!
I mount my usb-cardreader with:
| Code: | | mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tmp |
The other day I mounted it again like that and than unmounted it. Several minutes later I wanted to mount it again and it says me:
| Code: | | mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist |
Its true: the device is not present anymore. I rebooted hoping this would solve the problem (old windows habbit) but it didn't. Usualy the device was always there. Do I need to refresh the usb host somehow so that the kernel knows that something is plugged into usb again? And why did it dissapear at all?
Tell me if you need more information. |

Is it possible that you have other USB devices connected? It might have "moved" to another device (if you're not using udev).
If so, it might be /dev/sdb or something else. If that's the case, you'll be motivated to investigate udev a little. There's an excellent guide on gentoo.org (and for writing your own rules you can check out http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php)

| No, its the only device connected. I checked sd[a-d] but they are all empty. |
