But my point really was if it is formatted vfat it should work.
FWIW
(tigger pts10) # mount
/dev/flash on /mnt/flash type vfat (rw,0)
(tigger pts10) #
(tigger pts10) # grep flash /etc/fstab
/dev/flash /mnt/flash vfat,noauto,noatime,suid=0 0 0
(tigger pts10) #
If you do something like:
devlabel add -d /dev/sda1 -s /dev/flash --automount
it will create the link from /dev/sda1 to /mnt/flash automagically.
You do have the hotplug package installed don't you??
