Hi Erhard,
your initial bug report states that after pluging in your cammera,
vol_id is executed (presumably the result of a kernel-generated
hotplug event) and it segfaults. After this happens your camera
is unusable until after you reinsert it. Could you please describe
what happens after you reinsert it.

Hi Marco,
Please provide some documenation for vol_id. It is a binary in /usr/sbin
and thus should have a man page. But in lieu of that, could you please
briefly describe what it is supposed to do. Does it just try and
determine the valid partitions on a device, information wich can
subsequently be passed through to mount?
