Hi, Greg,

When I plug a USB card reader with multiply LUNs, the following happens:

[zaitcev@niphredil ~]$ ls -l /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.2/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0

The usb-storage produces this:

[root@niphredil linux-2.6.14-nip]#

Each "block" is in its own subdirectory.

Do you have a suggestion about the fastest way to accomplish the same
effect with ub?

Thank you,
