Comment 0 for bug 81219

I have a PalmOne LifeDrive PDA. It has a 4GB hard drive and a SD card slot. It also has an application which allows it to appear just like a USB drive to the operating system when connected via USB. The application provides two different drives: one

Up to Dapper, plugging the PDA and enabling drive mode correctly mounted and showed the two drives. However, now in Feisty the 4GB volume is no longer mounted. This is independent of whether there is a SD card in the PDA card reader or not. If there is, it's correctly detected and mounted.

I can mount the drive just fine manually, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having automounting :)

I was inclined to assign the error to hal, but the hardware browser and lshal do show the missing drive. From hal's point of view, the LifeDrive has an internal "SCSI Host Adapter" with two "SCSI Devices", one as "file storage" (the 4GB drive) and a "SDC" (the SD card).

dmesg section when plugging the PDA:
