I've got a couple different brands of these pen drives that work exaclty once per boot in SuSE 8.1. If I insert the device, the icon shows up on the desktop and I can read and write to it just fine. Hotplug seems to work.
If I take the device out of the usb port, and re-insert it some time later it will beep but nothing else happens. Lots of messages in /var/log/messages, but they look the same as the first insertion.
The only way I can get access to it again is to reboot, and then I get one shot at it again.
On SuSE 8.2 these same devices work flawlessly regardless of the number of insertions.
What part of hotlpug or usb do I have to tweak to figure out this one?

Maybe youre forgetting to unmount the drive before removal? A mistake I did when first tinkering with my USB 80GB HDD. (Works great btw)
No, I carefully use the desktop Icon to unmount it. I have a 40gig USB HD that I planed to use for backup of my laptop but the machine only had USB 1.1, and its pretty slow. The USB drive can handle usb 1.1 and 2.0 as well as firewire. So I'm now searching around for a firewire cable with the right connectors. It also has the single mount problem on SuSE 8.1, but works well on 8.2. Still slow, but allows multiple mounts. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
