I hit the second time to the same wall - and it is not acceptable for me.
What happened >
I connected my portable telephone (and digital camera) to usb on my Slackware 13_64 desktop and tried to mount them as I usually do:
1. I check the device number by dmesg. I usually get something like this /dev/sdc1.
2. After this I mount it somewhere. (mount /dev/sdc1 /usb)
Now I get something like this:

There is apparently no device number for sdc. After this I made some stupid steps (mount /dev/sdc /usb) and
I HIT THE WALL first time!
The mount command didn't succeed and I cannot stop it in no manner. CTRL +C, ... does not terminate the process. The kill -9 does not terminate it too. I hate to accept the idea that nothing else can be done but reboot. I need to stop the false processes somehow and try the mount procedure again - till I succeed.
In fact I had the same problem with my digital camera. The only difference was that this device get the /dev/sdc1 device number but the mount command ends with the same result. (mount /dev/sdc1 /usb)
Questions:
1. What is the problem why I cannot kill the false processes? (kill -9 4877)

2. What is the best way to work with my usb devices?
Thanks
