Grant. Does it come back after unplugging and reconnecting it? When you eject a device. The device needs to send a insertion notice for it to be rescanned. Eject was originally designed for removable media in a drive (floppy/cd/dvd/...). Usb stick and harddrives don't always send the newdiskinserted reply to an eject action. There are some that do. I have examples of both at home. -- Joost -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
