Not on my system, what kernel are you using? Greg, I just tried the experiment and had the above described behavior: - Connect external USB-3 drive, drive assigned /dev/sdb - mount -r /dev/sdb1 /mnt - pull the usb connector - wait 30 seconds, and reconnect - drive assigned /dev/sdc I'm running openSUSE with the distro kernel 3.11.6-4-desktop. I then added "umount /mnt" before pulling the usb connector and /dev/sdc was re-used on reconnect. <snip> > thanks, > > greg k-h the other greg _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
