Thank you for the suggestion!
My thought was to parse the output of "df /path/to/drive" and confirm that
it was mounted correctly. (I already do that in the scripts I use to
mount the removable drive and re-format it.) If it happened more than
once or twice a year, I probably would! :)
Your way certainly works, too. Because it's the root of the removable
drive, I could simply look for lost+found, too! :)
