I've been meaning to run the experiment of having the backing
store be removable media, using a device like /dev/mmcblk0 (for
MMC/SD) or /dev/hda (for CompactFlash, on non-PC boxes).
If anyone's done that already, it'd be interesting to get a
status report. Does it behave well? And how about in the
face of friendly fire, like ejecting the card?
That's relevant on this particular thread because in most
cases those media come pre-partitioned, so fdisk steps will
not be required.

p.s. Alan, nice writeup. Does something like this need to
go into linux/Documentation/usb maybe?
