Hi Iguleder,
(running wheez-3.5.2.5)
also thanks for your time doing all this, as also to other contributors !
I got a try on these
part-hotplug-handler.tar.bz2 but it seems not yet solve the following:
Here using several USB memory plugs, and external hard disk disk, to save datas, lets call them sdb1, sdc1, sdd1 to 10. All plugged into a 4 ports USB hub.
Some daily used apps (textprocessor, spreadsheet, etc...) keep tracks of the recent used files.
I am using those trasks as hints to get a fast access to my datas.
Sometimes i have to unplug one of them - for instance sdc1 - (after having unmounted it...
), and aftrwds to plug another one, and aftrwds, to re-plugs the former.
This last one is no longer named sdc1, but sde1 instead. Sometimes all USB drive icons switch off, and redisplay whith names like sde1, sdf1, sdg1 ...
The only workaround to get back to sdb1, sdc1, sdd1 ... configuration is ... to shutdown the PC and reboot. Restart X does NOT help.
I have browsed across the forum since months (even years...) whithout finding how to fix this nor understanding what could explain this.
I figure out this is as if the initial USB keys names where stored somewhere ... without resetting upon unplugging.
Having installed and compiled part-hotplug-handler, a possible workaround i found:
when opened Rox file manager to /mnt, all mounted drives are displayed with a green dot.
Some already unplugged USB plugs still display with a green dot (YESSS ...
! ) as if they were currently plugged
! Right clicking on them and unmounting them result in a kind of reset of the , let's call it so, «usb-plugs-map».
Thanks again for any answer, Charlie
