I wonder if you are seeing the same thing I see...

I have several different sized memory cards which I use using a usb
adaptor.  The kernel (I've only tried 2.4 not 2.6) recognises the
first one fine, but refuses to update its internal knowledge of the
size of the card so if I insert a different sized one it doesn't mount
properly.

The work-around I use is to "rmmod usb-storage ; modprobe usb-storage"
whenever I change memory card - this kicks the kernel into re-reading
the size of the media (or maybe the partition table) and it all works
fine after that.

This obviously isn't ideal but I haven't found a better solution.
