It is *much better* to use the UUID than the mutable "/dev/sdx" :-) > I still haven't found a good explanation for the umask option- nothing > in man pages under "umask", very little under pam_umask or pam ... "man mount" and scroll to "vfat", there are many options you can tweak (umask, dmask, fmask). A value of "umask=0000" will set the perms of the USB files to read/write/execute for user/group/others. You can, of course, adjust this value to something that better suits your needs.
