I noticed similar behavior on the externally connected usb storage devices.
On the example of the SD card reader, when you insert the card, /dev/sdb appears, but not the actual partition (/dev/sdb1) So you have to do fdisk /dev/sdb, then quit, then the /dev/sdb1 is magically available for mounting. Think it is an issue with udev. kos -- Respectfully, Konstantin V.
