Very Computer

i have a DimageX from Minolta.

I can connect it the usual way via scsi stuff and the usb-storage
module, i.e. the cameras file system appears at the next free scsi drive
(in pure-ide systems this is /dev/sda1; in my case -I already have a
scsi drive- it appears at /dev/sdb1). So far, everything works fine.

However, if I want to download pics from several flash-cards, a simple
remount (umount, power-off camera, exchange flach-card, power-on camera,
mount) would not work. it seems that mount can not handle a changing
volume number. so i have to rmmod and insmod the usb-storage module
while the camera is unmounted.

this work-around is somewhat complicated. i'd like to rather use
automount as i do for my other drives with changing volumes (cdrom,
cdwriter, dvd).

any ideas???

- May I see the kernel messages (/var/log/messages)
  for a "mount-case" and "umount-case" ?

- (and may be not very important an output of
   'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices' when the device is attached)

We'll see if we can help you with these information..
