Hi Kunal, Remove storage devices are automagically mounted by a script, /sbin/usbstorage, via hotplug when a device is plugged in. I didn't test the change you're proposing on a real device with USB support, but I guess automounting with "mount -a" and having /sbin/usbstorage run aside will conflict at some point. A better option would be to let /sbin/usbstorage be aware of mountpoints defined in /etc/fstab.
I know an enhanced automounter is on its way, I'll try to get more infos and keep you posted.
