My understanding of re-scan was: Device could have been deactivated and right after disabling, it was enabled again.

It's the tool (e.g. the KDE plasma ) to safely remove the device (= sdcad). https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/DeviceNotifier > What kind of device entries are they? After plugging in the device, this entry appears: https://userbase.kde.org/File:Device_Notifier_Widget_Actions.png Clicking on the left arrow which can be seen in the following screenshot, removes the device again. Afterwards, no more device entries should be there (if there wasn't anyone more before). https://userbase.kde.org/File:Device_Notifier_Widget.png But since these changes it behaves like that, that after clicking on remove, there appear 3 entries stating, that the device can be removed now (no screenshot at the given page), and short time later, there are 2 entries like this one: https://userbase.kde.org/File:Device_Notifier_Widget_Actions.png . Very short time late again, it's just one - same as at the beginning after the sdcard has been plugged in. >> From my point of view, the device never got disabled - if it would have >> been disabled, it wouldn't be possible to reload it again after removing >> (by click) without replugging it. > > Why would clicking on Remove cause the device to be disabled?

The device is the sdcard - the card reader is built in :-) and can't be removed :-). > Is Remove supposed to be the same as unmount?

You have to replug the device again to see the initial entry again.

That's not possible as it is a build in reader. And there wasn't any problem before these changes.
