Excellent! That's what I couldn't figure out. In my system 08:01 is 
/dev/sda1 too, which I only use to mount my USB camera. BUT, I'm dead 
sure I cleanly unmounted it last time I used it... hmm I'll look into 
the modules, perhaps some garbages remain and confuse the kernel into 
believing there's still something there.

Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll look into it :-)
