By default, usb-storage has a 5-second delay whenever a new device is detected. You can shorten that delay by specifying a module parameter when you load the driver. For example insmod usb-storage.ko delay_use=0 would eliminate the delay. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
