kernel: FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!

Here's a quote from “pmount” manual, POLICY section:
        “device is not in /etc/fstab (if it is, pmount executes ‘mount
        device’ as the calling user to handle this transparently)”

The only catch is that you are not guaranteed which “device name” will
be assigned to you hot-plugged drive, it might be “/dev/sda” or
“/dev/sdb” (or else).
