    I notice when I plug a USB four in one flash card reader in and out
    several times, successively higher /dev files are assigned.
    sda sdb sdc sdd,
    sde sdf sdg sdh,...
    before long (sdh), I have exceeded the /dev/sd* files on the machine.
    That means I must reboot if I want to mount the device?
