Re: Usb key disapearing

What command did you use? Were you writing to /dev/sdb1 or 2, /dev/sdb,
or a file on the mounted usb drive? What does 'fdisk -l /dev/sdb' show?

Problem happened when the key was all one big fat32 partition, but it
also happened later with my new partition table.
So it has 2 partitions, partition 1 is a normal linux, made for ext2,
the 2nd partition is a "linux-raid-autodetect" that I wish to use in a
raid but I don't have plans for the "autodetect" part yet (i like to
boot from my regular os).

So i can mount sdb1 fine (if key is working) but i create an array
with sdb2 and mount the array instead.

The problem was that the whole key was unavailable suddenly, array
(linear) crashed and died, mount point for sdb1 was giving only I/O
errors. Stopping the raid and unmounting sdb1 made the devices
disapear in /dev... no way to remount...
