    So in fact it is a flash card reader?
    In that case removeable is correct.
    You shouldn't eject mounted media - FreeBSD locks mounted media, but
    since your device can't physically lock it...

    Yes - as already mentioned on the list by diffrent people:
    cp /dev/null > /dev/da0

    Yes - GEOM seems to ignore media change signals from drives.
    I've added PHK to the recipient list - maybe he has an idea about this
    problem.
    However - lots of cheap flash card readers are to stupid for even that.
    You just can't rely on an automatic reread.

    That shouldn't happen, unless you still have references to that device.
    Are you running with latest code?
    There were lots of ehci fixes lately.

    The first disconnect notification is from your root hub.
    The uhub driver then destroys the umass, which first destroys the
    scbus and so on.
    If one instance on the chain blocks the whole thing has to wait.
