When I use one USB port only, I mount it as /dev/sdb1. But for simultaneously using two or even three ports, which are the /dev name(s) I have to use?
Wolfgang, scsi devices are named sequentially, so it depends on the sequence in which you plugged in the drives.
So, following your sequential philosophy, the second stick should be /dev/sdb2. But mounting this device failed because it did not exist.
You cannot guess that, kernel decides which name to use. The next name kernel use would be /dev/sdc1 btw. -- İsmail Dönmez - openSUSE Booster SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
