Does it consistently appears as /dev/sdb1? If so, you could try defining it in /etc/fstab. Similar to a hard disk if it is permanently loaded, or similar to cd/dvd drive if otherwise. When I insert the little SDcards and load external drive devices, I usually 'sudo dmesg' and note the device listed at the end, then /mount /dev/sd'X''1/ /mnt/usb'Y'. In my case, it is usually i for 1, then j, then k, etc. Do not forget to 'umount /mnt/cdrom' or where ever you have it mounted before you unplug or remove it. > Another poster suggested autofs which I found to be already > installed.
