Well, than you should know that at least on my card reader, each "drive"
(slot?) appears like a different drive. The third one, the only one I
use (as that's the kind of memory I have), appears as the third added
drive. So if I connect my camera it appears as sda, and if then I
connect the card reader it appears as sdb-sbe, sdd being the one I want.
Conclusion: At least with new hardware, and unless you use some very
smart auto mounter, dmesg often and watch what happens.
