hi there , when mounting an usb device, the device is shown as /dev/sda1 (according to cat /proc/partitions). so far so god. but when unpluggins the device without unmounting it, a problem appears: when replugging it, the device turns to be /dev/sdb1, sdc1...an so on. how can i fix this knowing that most distibutions have this problem. i personally use suse 9.1 and disabled the subfs system is the hotplug detection, which caused serious performance troubles on my laptop. what can i do? thanks Frédéric
