USB HP PhotoScanner 1000

[Tim Wunder]

heh...
Well, the easier thing was to use bash's history and konsole to manually 
umount/mount, didn't have to take the time to write a script.

I managed to scan in about 70 images throughout the day today, so that's not 
too bad. Sure would be a PITA to ask another user (like my wife) to 
umount/mount after every scan, though. I doubt I'll buy one of these scanners 
(s'posed to be able to get one delivered for $50.00 US through E-Bay), but 
it's not a bad little device to borrow. Although, if I *were* to write a 
script to refresh the mount, it wouldn't be so bad.

I wonder if the 2.6 kernel is better about keeping updated with drive changes 
on a USB hard disk.

BTW, periodically, it took the umount command a *long* time to come back 
(~15-30 seconds). I couldn't narrow it down to specific behavior on my part, 
just every once in a while. Any thoughts on what would cause that?
