Thanks for the feedback.
Sorry for the problems we had in 2.4.0 and 2.4.1, it was the first really
major change in the SD acquire/mount algorithm for at least 5+ years, so some
of the finer points escaped me and the regression tests. Hopefully
everything is covered in 2.4.2, though I am still worried about a few of the
more esoteric options like polling ... as they are not automatically tested.
Best regards,
Kern
