While mounting the same, /dev/sdc0 is passed as arguments to the create_phys and to the bdpart_register_from_disk. The fstab_entry table has the first entry as /dev/sdc01 and the second one as /dev/sdc0. The first entry is always mounted succesfully.

This sequence looks ok, but you should place the

rtems_io_unregister_driver(sd_card_disk_major)

into the RTEMS_BLKIO_DELETED IO control handler.  The disk management will call 
this driver IO control once the disk is actually deleted.

Please set a break point to rtems_bdbuf_read() line 1911

bd = rtems_bdbuf_get_buffer_for_access (dev, media_block, bds_per_group);

after the steps above.  Is this bd really in the RTEMS_BDBUF_STATE_CACHED or 
RTEMS_BDBUF_STATE_MODIFIED state if you read the MBR?
