Basically every block-like device is a GEOM member these days automounting or not. I have only recently used an SD reader under FreeBSD but in my exploration of the symptoms, I saw very old and very recent indications that this is the way to handle. And by very old, I mean since GEOM's introduction. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg104787.html You can easily find older ones, but this post explains a bit of the technical difficulty behind the bug. -- Adam Vande More
