#6 Re: Card Readers and USB keys using udev Posted by chris (80.202.xx.xx) on Sun 8 May 2005 at 08:15 If you have a card with multiple partitions on it then this will still create all of them. The issue here is that some devices (most often the multi-card readers) only tell the system about the actual device (e.g. /dev/card_ms) and not the partitions. So - using the all_partitions option will create all partitions (in this example /dev/card_ms, /dev/card_ms1 up to /dev/card_ms15). If you have only one partition then only /dev/card_ms1 will actually work - the others are just device nodes that do not work. If you have more partitions then the relevant device nodes will work. So - all_partitions doesn't hurt multi-partition cards - it's just untidy in the /dev namespace.
