Problem with mounting a device second time.

[ali nasir]

Hi,

yes. we call the rtems_bdpart_register_from_disk while mounting the sdcard. This, i guess, will create a logical disk. 

Should we then also call the bdpart_unregister while unmounting the card?

Will try to debug as suggested and come back.

Regards,
Ali

However, if we try to mount /dev/sdc02 on mnt/sdcard, then this works.
