Hi,

I'm having problems with USB_PERSIST and suspending USB devices in the
latest kernel 2.6.23.1-6.

Particularly let's say I have a mounted read-only USB drive. If I suspend
the computer and while suspended remove and reattach the USB drive, and then
resume the computer, the device mount is lost and it has to be remounted. I
would like the device to stay mounted while the computer is suspended even
if it's detached and reattached while the computer is suspended. This was
the way it behaved under kernel 2.6.21. Kernel 2.6.22 didn't even have the
USB_PERSIST option so I skipped it in FaunOS. And now, USB_PERSIST only
works if you leave the device attached to the computer while the computer is
suspended.

Note that the key here is that the USB device is read-only and it can't be
changed when it's detached from the suspended computer.

I'm starting to think that I have to back port the USB kernel subsystem in
2.6.23 to 2.6.21 and I'm trying to avoid that if I can.

Any help, hacks, patches, ideas are appreciated.

Raymano
