/dev/sda1 gets lost

[Olaf Mueller]

Hello,

from time to time my device /dev/sda1 (usb, flash card) gets lost. On
the one day I can mount this device without a problem, then on the
other day /dev/sda1 was removed and I have to start kudzu to
get /dev/sda1 back. Who or what deletes /dev/sda1 and why?

My system settings are:
- fc3
- /etc/fstab: "dev/sda1 /media/flash vfat noauto,noatime,user,rw 0 0"


thanks
Olaf
