Hello,

My thumbdrive has been mounting fine, but recently it started mounting

I can offer an observation but not an answer.  Your email client, mutt,
is sending quoted-printable text, so I'm not sure I'm reading the same
thing that you are writing.

For example, your last line, above, looks to me like this when I view your
post in raw ascii:

'My thumbdrive mounts as /media/=0E'

That =HH is typical of quoted-printable encoding:

Maybe someone else can tell us if this has any relation to your problem?

Thanks for the info. I'm going to look into it.

Just to illustrate a little better, this is what it looks like.
