I must confess to not being that technically savvy about Linux but surely it's possible for it to tell the difference? It even shows up as a USB key icon when it automounts, that would suggest to me that Linux can detect a USB key-type device. Even if it can't distinguish, I'd like to see synchronous mounting by default for any plugin device. It just makes more sense, because you're far more likely to be writing data to it in one synchronous chunk than running an app or something that has lots of data access. However, I bet it can distinguish USB keys and at least they should be mounted synchronously.
