Works OK for me. But it seems like I recall that the order of devices
changed on me sometime. Might show up as /dev/sdb1, or /dev/sdc1, etc.

Install lsscsi, it can help you find your devices with little effort.

$ lsscsi
[1:0:0:0]    disk    SPRING   MultiCard Slot A 0100  /dev/sda
[1:0:0:1]    disk    SPRING   MultiCard Slot D 0100  /dev/sdb
[1:0:0:2]    disk    SPRING   MultiCard Slot S 0100  /dev/sdc
[1:0:0:3]    disk    SPRING   MultiCard Slot M 0100  /dev/sdd
[7:0:0:0]    disk    LEXAR    JUMPDRIVE        1000  /dev/sde
