Too damn many. Why does my multi-card reader have to be listed with every slot getting a different drive letter when it's all hooked up to one internal USB header???

Because essentially, they are different drives. While may be sharing the same IRQs, but you can put multiple cards in there and read all of them, not simultaneously of course (Unless you have two mice hooked up, and click on both drives at the same time, then you'll get an error).

Not mounted is /dev/sda1, which is a 250GB external firewire drive, which is just shy of being full.
 
Eleven, depending on what you count as a drive:

Floppy
Windows Files
Windows misc
Debian misc
Debian Home
Debian /
Windows System
Debian Swap
Music
CD-RW
DVD
 
a=floppy
c,d,e,f=2 HD's with 2 partitions each
q=dvd burner
m,n,o,p=card reader

incedently, you can install tweakUI and select which drives you want to show and which you want to be invisible (I'm sure you can do this some other way also), I only use SD and xD myself
 
C:\ = HDD, 76gb, 525mb free
D:\ = Plextor 12/10/32
E:\ = HDD, 55gb, 2.85gb free
K:\ = virtual CDROM
L:\ = virtual CDROM
M:\ = virtual CDROM
N:\ = virtual CDROM

heh.

what's the deal with the virtual cdroms? never heard of that before.

It's very handy.

You can load cd images stored on your harddrive into the virtual cdrom. Not only is it very convienent, it's also much faster than a cdrom.

I use VirtualDAEMON.
