[Linux-disciples] usb drives

[Karl Sokol]

Yes, I am manually adding lines to the fstab.  And yes, Ann and I both
have a habit of just yanking the thing out without unmounting and all
that.  If unmounted, it usually does reset (the only exception is I
have a universal card reader that uses 6 mount points when plugged in
and is sometimes quirky when each point is unmounted ).

So, we will work on taking the 3 seconds needed to unmount the drives.

Thanks.
