The flash card reader i use is a 7 in 1 noname reader usb that can read
smartmedia, compactflash ...
I use a smartmedia (8, 32 and 128 Mo)
===============================
Software Environment: 
Linux version 2.6.0 (root@attaque) (version gcc 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4
3.2.3-r3, propolice)) #1 Mon Dec 29 10:25:49 CET 2003
===============================
Problem Description: When I plug a flash card, use it, umount the file-system,
then plug another flash card. Then the only way to use the new flash card is to
unload (rmmod) the usb_storage module and reload it (modprobe) and mount the
file-system. If I do not reload kernel module, I see the old file-system.
But when i unload the module usb-storage, the directory /dev/scsi/hostX already
exist and each time i reload the module usb_storage, i have a new directory
/dev/scsi/hostX (first time host1, then host2, then host3 ...)

The most problem is that we have to be root to do theses manipulations : a
simple user can not use a flash card. And i can not use /etc/fstab because i
have a new host each times I plug a new card.

I have tested this bug on all versions of 2.6-test1 to test 11 and there is the
same problem. Iremember when i was on kernel 2.4, it works good :-)) but I do
not remember exactly what kernel version it was (nearly 2.4.18 or 2.4.19)
=======================================
Steps to reproduce: plug a flash card, use it, umount the file-system, then plug
another flash card. Then you do not see the new file-system, but file-system of
the first card.
