Bug 52379 – USB fs mount problems

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Alexey Parshin 2004-05-29 11:23:41 UTC]

I have a SmartMedia card reader. If I try to use like this:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mount/camera

- it reports that the device /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist.

However, if I first try:

mount /dev/sdb /mount/camera  - it complains about filesystem
and then:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mount/camera

everything works just fine for any following mounts/unmounts.

Hm.  This looks like an upstream issue.  Care to open this up at
bugzilla.kernel.org?
