I have some faint recollections of when I was using USB mass storage camera media. Look into a package called scsiadd; which can be used to rescan the bus and add/remove devices on the fly.

http://llg.cubic.org/tools/ is what google brings me up.

I think this will help you - you'll need to rescan the USB mass-storage bus - remove/add devices when you change the parameters of a device. It's quite easy, I cobbled together a little shell script that would remove add the device then mount it. I used that script to mount the USB card instead of mount - meant that I was sure the scsiadd stuff was handled if needed.

I think this will help you work around having to reboot.

rgds,

Phil
