after got bad experience with USB flash disk on suse 9.3 I hope with suse 10 I got fixed problem but hey I still got the Old prob.....
the problem is when I try mount (auto mount) for the second time (after I unplug the USB flashdisk) I always got nothing......
I check with "fdisk -l" I got nothing....usually when my USB flashdisk detected it recognized as sdb1.
but I can solve this problem with restarting my suse...hmmm annoying isn't it?
so does anyone know how to fix this problem?

thanx in advance....

You may find that the device is being given an incremental node at each plugin
eg. sda --> sdb --> sdc ...
These might help:
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...O.html#hotplug
(in particular "12.4.2. Naming memory sticks")

I've had such problem with mandrake...
there is a service called hotplug - guess what it is for... chek if it is running on your any_Linux
...I've switchesd form mandrake to gentoo

is there no simple solutions for this? (I'm sorry for this )

Simply install and configure udev and hotplug correctly.
Sound better?

re>>>is there no simple solutions for this?
YES -
IT'S Mac-OS

when I do "fdisk -l" it still cannot detected but when I do this "lsusb" it show me like this :

sorry if this too long....
I really need help here.....
thanx in advance

Perhaps you could post the output of
while you plug and unplug the usb disk a couple of times
so that we can see the difference between a working hotplug ...
and a non-working one

OK, a stab in the dark:
try
# uname -r

if you're running anything < 2.6.12 I suggest you upgrade your kernel
AFAIK ehci code has been evolving steadily

Also, you haven't added notes to your /var/log/messages to show
a successful hotplug. Perhaps you could restart your machine (without
the USB disk inserted), and:
make sense?

Post THAT output! (easier to read)
you might also post the output of
# fdisk -l
(from another console!)
each time you plug it in

this when I after restart my suse :

linux:/home/fireedo # fdisk -l

see there's "sdb1"....

then :

linux:/home/fireedo # uname -r

and this :

then I will unplug it....

I've had a look into the info you've provided so far, and not come up with anything concrete.
I suggest you have a look at the following, though, maybe you can pick up something I didn't:
# hal-device-manager &
# man fstab-sync

If you're still stuck you might search or ask on the linux-usb-users list:
