E.G. 1: I have a Zip Drive which is /dev/da1. Everything is fine if a disk is in when I boot, but if I insert the media after boot, /dev/da1s1 is not there. I need to "mount /dev/da1 /mnt": this also fails, but now I have /dev/da1s1 and can mount it. E.G. 2: I connect my Android phone with an USB cable: it will be /dev/da7. Again I have no /dev/da7s1 until I "dd count=0 if=/dev/random of=/dev/da7". Same happens with CompactFlash, MMC, SD, etc... bye av.
