Ummm, maybe not.

My fstab has this entry:

/dev/mmcblk0p1  /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999 0 0

But no entry for mmc2. OTOH, my /proc/mounts (which should show the actual
mounted "disks") has:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 vfat 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=29999,fmask=0022,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8
 0 0

/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1 vfat 
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=29999,fmask=0022,dmask=0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8
 0 0

Note that the device names are switched compared to fstab. For devices
that are automounted via udev (which is what I assume is happening with
the memory cards), I'm not sure that fstab has any influence. I'd guess
that the way to control this involves one of the udev config files, but
poking around in /etc/udev didn't lead to any obvious candidates.

Steve, not a udev expert.
