Hi,

Using Ubuntu 12.04:

I have a strange situation where a usb drive was initially mounted
as /dev/sdb1 to a directory /ut.  For several days data read-write to
the drive was going just fine. Then suddenly all read-write stopped,
with a Input/Output error, and while mount showed that /dev/sd1 was
still mounted on /ut.

Investigating further I found using blkid that the usb drive was now
showing as /dev/sdc1.  How can this happen?  I first thought, may be the
pc rebooted itself after a power failure and the drive got reassigned,
but uptime showed it has been on for 49 days since last reboot.  The
problem only appeared today or yesterday.

I can mount /dev/sdc1 elsewhere and everything seem to be still there.

So somehow the usb drive got reassigned by itself.  Any ideas how/why
this happened?

Daniel.
