I have a couple of USB flash drives. I can talk with drive A.
But once I do I cannot read drive B until I reboot.
Or I can read drive B. But then I cannot read drive A until I
reboot.
This has been true across several distributions. I've tried
rmmod'ing the related modules. Didn't help. Should have.
This may or may not relate to what you are seeing.

Howdy folks,
I'm working with a redhat 9 (shrike) system. It acts as a file
server, and I use some cron scripts to mount a few different usb hard
drives to dump backups onto. This allows the hard drives to be
easily rotated and used as offsite back ups. For wide spread OS
readability I use a vfat format type.
Recently we swapped external enclosures on one of the hard drives,
and now the redhat 9 system will not read it or mount it. However,
any other system will mount the drive fine. (tried with OS X and
Fedora). I would like to avoid updating the file servers OS seeing
as I don't really have a lot of extra time to devote to it.
Does anyone have any advice or know why the drive might not be
mountable?
Thanks,
Jim
