            Bug ID: 198626
           Summary: Mounted USB key with FAT32 file-system, inserted 2nd
                    key, mounted file-system went blank
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: donaldcallen@gmail.com

I inserted a USB key with a FAT32 file-system on its one and only partition and
mounted it on a newly created directory in /tmp. After mounting, I did an ls to
verify that what I expected to be there was there, and it was. Among the
contents was a .iso file that needed to be copied to another USB key. I
inserted that key and began typing the dd command to do the copy, while cd-ed
to the directory where I'd mounted the first key. When I hit 'tab' to complete
the name of the .iso file, it would not complete. So I backed out, did another
ls and got nothing! No files! But the file-system was still mounted, confirmed
with df. I suspect that the insertion of the second USB key confused the system
somehow and it lost track of the first.
