Here's the other interesting thing. The USB drive shows up under lsusb but is not auto mounted. df -h doesn't show it. mount -a results in a "/dev/sda1 does not exist". Then if I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, the drive gets recognized and automounts twice. Once at the /library mountpoint and once at the /mnt/usb0 mountpoint. Could be a conflict between fstab and udev?
