After removing my flash drive, if I reinsert it my system fails to find it. Is there a way of getting my system to rescan the USB ports, without doing a reboot? TIA Eddie
You could try unmounting it (as root): umount /media/usb-blah-blah-blah I think hotplug would then redetect it when you plug it back in. You definitely shouldn't have to reboot.

If you have the flash drive plugged into an extension cable, unplug the *cable* from the computer, wait ~2 minutes and replug it with the flash drive connected. Wait ~1 minute and try again. If it's still not there, try 'rchotplug' again. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

I know on my 9.0 Pro all I have to do is plug or unplug and I can access sda1 and browse its contents, after of course mounting it with/via Konqueror.
