Since all card reader use the scsi module they are treated as hard disks. The problem is we can remove the card without removing the whole "drive" and nothing seems to be set up to deal with this.
It's very annoying, and to be honest having to type in options scsi-mod max_scsi_luns=255 into my modules.conf very annoying. Why can't harddrake do this for me?
It is a very worrying state of affairs when somehing works better under windows than in linux. Especally in something so simple.
I'd be interested to know how apple implemented it as they use some form of BSD underneath the pretty pictures. And it works great on the mac

I guess that part of the problem is the huge range of hardware we use for removable storage, so we don't always find someone else with experience of the problem. If you don't get an answer here, try asking the expert list. Some of the people are the same as here, but there are others too, and one of them might know.

It certainly sounds ok. I'm clean out of ideas, atm, Richard
Me too, Anne. I've a better idea of why this is happening (the card reader doesn't change when the card does, so no updated card info).
Can other people read more than one sdram card without unplugging the whole card reader? If the problem is mine, I'll keep looking for a fix. If this is the state of the art for usb removable storage, in 2003, then Linux is NOT ready for the desktop.
