Re: USB device just moves

I had a case today where an external disk drive connected via USB just up
and moved to a new device location. The dmesg log looks like it came loose
on its own and reconnected immediately. But it seems the device name it
had before was not re-usabled and it got a new one. It was a mounted disk
so you can imagine the mess that caused.

The "udev" subsystem seems to go a very long way towards solving this
problem. I believe it would have prevented the issue you describe. Is
your kernel new enough to support it?
