[K12OSN] USB memory problem

[Jim McQuillan]

Eric,

Take a look at the manpage on updfstab.

It talks about a config file called /etc/updfstab.conf and 
/etc/updfstab.conf.default that contains entries.

Pay special attention to the value of 'partition' in that file.
If it is set to '0', then partition numbers aren't used.

I don't have a device like that, so I can't test it.
