Can you reproduce this with vanilla-2.4.26 // gentoo-sources-2.4.26? That's just the way the kernel works, sorry. Not a bug at all. In that case I'd like to suggest rectifying this as an improvement. It would be useful not to require a seperate fstab entry for each mass storage device people might conceivably use. Sorry, but that is the way that the usb-storage code works in the 2.4 kernel, nothing we can do about it, and no kernel developer is going to change it either. If it bugs you, use the 2.6 kernel, it doesn't have that issue :) Odd that it's meant to work that way. If 2.6 doesn't have this issue I'll switch. Thanks. |
