SD card reader can't be remounted without a reboot

Bug Description

I've an internal SD card reader connected via an on-board usb port. If I insert an SD card into the reader, it mounts the card and permits read/write as expected. However, after I 'safely remove' the SD card, the system will not recognize the drive (which probably makes sense in the absence of a card). More importantly, it will not remount the SD card if I reinsert it into the reader, unless I reboot the system first. How can I remove a card and later remount it (or mount a different SD card) w/o having to reboot?

I'm running 11.10 64bit; kernel 3.0.0-14-generic; and gnome 3.2.1.

Thanks in advance.

In short: don't use safe removal (as this removes the whole drive), use "eject".

The duplicate of #404185 status is wrong.
First, this one is registered 2 years after #404185 was closed.
Second, I'm still affected by it on 14.10.
