Package: udev Version: 0.105-1 Severity: normal I have an USB card reader with four ports (for four different types of memory cards). Plugging it in causes the creation of /dev/sda through /dev/sdd. Inserting an SD card into the corresponding slot (the third one, here) causes /dev/sdc1 to appear. Inserting a Memory Stick into the corresponding (fourth) slot triggers /dev/sdd1. Removing the cards does remove the device nodes, no problem (the /dev/sd[abcd] files themselves stay, though, but that's not a problem).
The problem lies within /dev/disk/by-id. Even though the card reader has four slots, it only has one serial number, so only one link is created in /dev/disk/by-id. It's called usb-Generic_STORAGE_DEVICE_000005170 and it points to one of /dev/sd[abcd], not always the same one. I suppose there's a race condition somewhere. When a memory card is inserted, another link, usb-Generic_STORAGE_DEVICE_000005170-part1, is created, pointing to, say, /dev/sdc1. Then, if another card is inserted while the first one is still there, the link is overwritten and points to /dev/sdd1. If the last inserted card is taken out, that link is removed (although the other card may remain). If a card other than the last inserted one is removed, the link stays. The card reader is a Kingston FCR-HS215/1, if that matters.
