I suggested that to him (he communicated it over IM) but the impression 
I got was that he would pose the question to me and then keep doing 
whatever he was doing and ignore what I sent, so I don't know if it had 
any effect.  The last thing he said was something about "got it in 
fstab".  *shrug*

I thought you were supposed to stay away from editing fstab for USB 
drives now.
