My thought for the day is: If at first you don't succeed, reload the original config file. I've done that, added the nas as users and it seems to be working (fingers crossed that it will stay that way). Thankyou for the suggestions. BTW for future reference if any one searchs this later: in

Hi, I don't run unstable (I use testing) but I'd expect that you'll have to teach udev to recognize the USB devices and create the right device files for them. Start with udev(8) and work from there. Look in the files under /etc/udev/. Also lsusb -v might be your friend here (to find out which

I'm guessing here but if you use udev then you shouldn't create device nodes manually, I can imagine how this might confuse udev. Try maybe to run /etc/init.d/udev restart. From my experience it's harmless and may make udev look at the devices again. I'm not 100% where hotplug comes here, but
