observe this as you plug the thumb drive in/out to see which device it's
being assigned too. Some of these USB devices are a little tricky to
follow -- I've noticed that at work on RedHat7.3-- I can just add an
entry to the /etc/fstab file like you described-- and at home on
SuSE8.2-- It goes through with some proc daemon that auto mounts my usb
keychain. Since I've formatted my flash keychain drive as an ext2
format-- I need to have an entry in the /etc/fstab to force it to ext2
fs. At home-- the only trick is I have to manually unmount the
incorrectly mounted device and then manually remount it.
This is what I get, but I don't fully understand it.
