The true issue is a little more complicated than that. The kernel issue here is that under 2.6.9 (or Red Hat's versions thereof) usb-storage devices would be picked up by the SCSI layer immediately after the usb-storage module became aware of them. Under Red Hat's 2.6.10 (which currently includes -ac11) there is a delay of five or ten seconds between the device appearing in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage and it showing up as a SCSI device. This delay has broken some stuff. Yes, Red Hat's userland hotplugging bits made incorrect assumptions and should be fixed. The question is whether this kernel delay is intended and, if not, how to fix it. Even after I've hacked around the userland problems I still have people asking why it takes so long for their USB keys to show up. - J< - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
