I am having a problem with FC3 and my USB drives. I have a USB CF card
reader and a USB "thumb drive" that I cannot get to. With FC3 they
implemented a HAL deamon for hot-plug that automatically updates fstab
and mounts the device on /media
When I plug them in, the new directory shows up in /media as it should.
For example, if I plug in my SimpleTech USB thumb drive, the
directory /media/SIMPTECH shows up. However, even as root it has no
files in it. The entry in fstab correctly shows vfat as the file type
but I cannot see any files if I do 'ls /media/SIMPTECH' as root.
I have been reading about udev and the various rule files under /etc/udev
that appear to control this sort of thing. But, as I continue to read up
on it all, I thought I'd ask PLUG for any hints.

---fstab when both card reader and thumb drive are plugged in (CANON_DC is
the card reader):
