Hi there, I've searched through this mailing list's archive & various other Google links to no use, so I'm asking here:
I use a (Gentoo patched) kernel 2.4.22 + a USB flash card reader with a CompactFlash and an SD card slot. Once usb-storage detects the reader, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are created. To access a flash card (which usually has 1 partition), I need /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 respectively. These devs only appear after I've triggered the kernel to read the partition table, e.g. with a "mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/cf", which, of course, fails with an error message (bad superblock, etc.). Is there a way to automagically create these devices when I insert a card into the reader? Thanks for your help.
