usbmount mounts the first available disk to /media/usb0, the second to /media/usb1, etc. It offers "fixed" addresses like /var/run/usbmount/TOSHIBA_TransMemory_1 aswell. I can't say for sure what devices are plugged in at startup, they're well removable media. dmesg shows there's no /dev/sd* at startup, so usbmount doesn't know there's a device to mount. So it looks like a kernel-related issue. I don't want to give up my compiled-in usb-storage tough. Could this possibly be related to my SCSI .config?
