I think you misunderstood my problem: I am newbie in linux but I have learned how to mount/unmount my devices. The problem with the CF reader is that when I try to mount it I get "R/W error!". If I try to force the filesystem of the mount command ( "-t vfat" for example..) I get "Error Fs! . no superblock." The same thing does NOT happen when I use a USB flash thumb drive of 64MB.
thank you for your posts.... Facts: 1. It autodetects in the first available /dev/sd* position. (sda,sdb,sdc,sdd,sde....) 2. It doesn't mount or umount automatically or manually as my USB flash thumbdrives do... 3. Even If I unplugged it, it leaves the his instance in the /dev/sd* tree each time I plug it in. (to understand: after 7 plugins and unplugins in USB in harddrake2 I get : sda,sdb,sdc,sdd,sdf,sde,sdg) 4. For each replug it leaves a system process with name usb-storage-0,1,2,3 etc... 5. After many retries it is possible beacuse of the meny /dev/sd* instances I have to reboot to use ANY usb devices. Even the lsusb gives me errors... 6. I am sure that I have a CF inside the reader, and both CF reader and thumb drive work fine in XP with native support.
