SD Card only mounted after a reboot
- by evothur
Hi everyone. I have a Kingston 2GB MicroSD and I plug it in via an inconix MicroSD Adapter to the internal card reader of my Samsung N210 Netbook with Ubuntu 10.10, but it doesn't show up. Only if I reboot the system when the card's plugged in it shows up. Why does it need a reboot for mounting?
sudo fdisk -l gives the output below. But I can only see the drive when I reboot the computer while the card's plugged.
