Hi folks,
I'm just experimenting with a WinFast Disk (USB solid state disk) and it seems to be working OK and being found as a scsi device when I plug it in OK, except that it keeps mounting it as the next device each time its attached (ie /media/sda1, /media/sdb1, /media/sdc1 etc.)
Is there any way of stopping it doing this?
It leaves the /media/sdx1 directory behind each time its unplugged, but doesn't seem to matter if I delete it or not each time, it still uses the next letter.
just a thought, but are you explicitly "umount"ing it before unplugging it? If not, your system might think /dev/sda is still "in use" when you plug it in a second time, hence the allocation of /dev/sdb (then c, d, e...)
