Hey Folks, I've also seen occasions where a storage device wouldn't properly show up when it was connected at boot, though it happens so infrequently I've never actually properly debugged it.
I am aware of a rare related problem: On one of my 2.0n's (but not another) combined with a specific line of USB sticks (Intenso Premium line), USB devices are not properly detected when doing a hard reset (e.g., power cut). Whe doing a soft reset (reboot command, or through the WebGUI) or when leaving the 2.0n powered down for 5 minutes or more, the problem would not appear. Since this seemed to be a one-off defect (it only occurred on one of my 2.0n's) I have stopped investigating this problem, though. If you can reproduce this problem as repeatedly as I have, perhaps you're seeing the same problem, though I somewhat doubt it. If you get this problem again, could you perhaps get the output of the "logread" command shortly after the boot and send it over to the list? That might help determine if you're seeing the same problem and/or if your problem is in the kernel or in mountd. > I started to believe the issue is hardware related - my fonera 2n is > connected since the first day it was released, until today !!! > I thought on openning the fonera and force a pull-up on the USB power.

If you're worried about the power supply, perhaps using a powered hub could help? > Of course the suggestion of the trac commented by jj_calvo will be better > and easier to implement :) > http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/changeset/2319 This "usb_coldplug" script was created to make 3G devices work, it shouldn't bee needed for mass storage device (IIRC mountd, responsible for mounting storage devices, already checks for existing devices when it starts).
