[02-22-04 16:08]: If you are unable to mount it manually using 'mount -t vfat ....' with a directory listed in fstab, you probably unplugged the card/cardreader without umount.ing. Correcting this in my experience has required the normal windoz solution to all, a reboot.
BUT, I would be very happy to learn another method.
I actually tried that a couple of times ( the reboot) but it didn't make any difference. You could be right that I unplugged ( or deleted the icon) without umounting. But everything should be back to normal after a reboot , isn't it? -- Greetings from

When I unplugged ( or deleted the icon) without umounting I ruined my memory stick. I reformatted the drive, reloaded the information from a good memory stick; nothing worked. I don't know if you can ruin a card reader in this way but I think it is a possiblity. Jerome
