Other Help Topics :: USB mass storage support

Booting computer every time when plugging USB storage device isn't just acceptable.
And yes. Mount point is created. But NOT removed on unplugging.

I never encountered these errors with Xubuntu.

Hotplug doesn't remove mount points. That's why you get the sequential sda, sdb, etc., instead of recycling points. I agree that you should be able to mount and umount without rebooting. Please paste in at least your mtab to show the points hotplug is setting and the filesystem it's reporting for your devices. (Sorry, I edited my reply while you were replying.)

I'm using Kubuntu. I've likewise never had a problem with it OR with DSL.

Okay, have you tried mounting each partition on sdd separately?

That I did first.

dmesg | tail shows something now...

It assumes that my memcard has size of one G byte.
I need to change that somehow...
