>Description:
Some USB card readers, such as the SanDisk SDDR-86 (see kern/20666),
support live removal and insertion of media. Unfortunately, NetBSD
doesn't seem to notice disk changes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attach a USB card reader. Then, after it's attached, insert a card.
Note that the disk doesn't get reprobed.
>Fix:
I'm not sure; I assume the device should be notifying us in some way,
but perhaps we're expected to probe it. I don't really know, I just
want this on the record. :)
