Re: [expert] USB Storage Device -> /dev/sd?? mappings

[Theo Brinkman]

According to the booklet that came w/ the reader, it shows up as 4 seperate drives under windows. (one for each physical card type; CF, SD, SmartMedia, and MemoryStick) When I plug it in, /dev/sda is created in devfs by hotplug, and the CF card slot works as expected. I suspect from its behavior under windows, that I need to convice hotplug to create the other device entries in devfs so I can access the other slots, but I don't know how to do so.

can you clarify theo, you are supposed to be able to read more than one media card type 'at the same time'?

Ok. I need some help with a couple USB Storage Device issues.

First, I have a digital camera which shows up as /dev/sda1. Works
fine, but I've just bought a card reader which ALSO shows up as /dev/sda
for its CF slot. What can I do to force one to change its mapping?

Second, the multicard reader I bought only shows its CF slot, because I
only have /dev/sda, no /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, or /dev/sdd. How can I get
the new /dev points?
