Felix, before I start, I must inform you I use Kubuntu and I am not sure 
if this applies equally for gnome.

Heh heh, I don't know. I just make sure this will never happen.

In Kubuntu, it will be something like "/media/kingston_data_2gB" or 
something like this, even if it is in fat format. And I don't have any 
problem if I don't label them.


However, I am beginning to see your point, that if you put in 2 similar 
unlabeled usb drives, what would that show and how does the system 
differentiate them?  Maybe "/media/kingston_2GB(1)" and 
"/media/kingston_2GB(2)" ?


Again sorry, Felix, I really don't know as I usually label them. Would 
others here be able to point out?
