Right, thanks. Knowing that, I should have remembered to mention it's on a headless embedded system. Personal camera type, where the card can be ripped in and out as people tend to do... Right now I search for a device with a uuid looking like xxxx-xxxx, and then I can mount that I guess. There can never be any other device getting connected. But still concerned about detecting it's removal before a failure reveals it. Set up a periodic polling function to check on its existence? Thanks, Michael
