Larry,

   That's what happens when a single USB-connected drive in plugged in;
/var/log/messages shows the assigned device. What I don't know is how the
kernel responds when the USB port has two devices on the other end.

   You wrote, "... it should identify which device ..." which I read as the
kernel seeing only one of the two drives. Is my reading incorrect?

Thanks,

Rich
