SD Card Will not always mount
I've been occasionally swapping between two different Samsung Evo Select 512GB micro SD cards. One i have for Emulation the other i have for my steam library. However sometimes when I put one of the cards back in, it just wont mount it. It will briefly show the micro SD card icon in the notification bar at the top but go away nearly instantly. If i go into storage settings it doesn't display. and if i go into desktop mode it says the microsd card isn't mounted. and pressing the mount button doesn't work and it errors. However if i take the SD card out and shutdown the steam deck. then boot it back up and put the SD card back in it will work basically every time. Don't think the SD cards are bad as they are brand new bought just for the steam deck. Feel like this is some bug with hot swapping maybe not closing properly.

If i had to make a guess. It seems to happen more when going from my emulation Micro SD card to the steam library microsd card. Maybe some process or firmware thing doesn't properly close/disconnect when hot swapping the microsd causing it to not be able to mount the new one. Curious if anyone else has notice similar behavior.
