This really shouldn't happen. It's not a hotplug or udev related problem. We got several reports like that. Seems like something is(was) wrong with usb-storage device removal (only the first connect is successful). Some people reported, that "eject /dev/sda" before unplugging prevented the error. I've had the same problem here but it's gone with kernel 2.6.10*, so I never looked into the real reason for it. :) Thanks, Kay ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
