Potential disaster for Rev/Linux pendrive apps

Luis and Rishi:

Please excuse my quick/generic answers: I'm tired, it's late, and I 
still have work to do...

the property tabs once the device is attached.
Gnome has been enhanced with added management features, so this may  
be one of them.
Might need to look see if plugdev has group membership.

Can you get it to work as root?

In fstab, is it mounted with 'auto' or does it display the correct  
filesystem type?

Does it work in 6.0.6 LTS? I've had some issues with 6.10 and USB...

------------------------------------
1. Wherever I find options for changing permissions, if I set them they get turned off.
2. "Plugdev"? That one's got me.
3. Root doesn't help.
4. Nothing appears in fstab at all!
5. 6.0.6 is fine. The trouble is with Feisty Fawn Herd 5 - running from the Live CD.

No luck I'm afraid.

This bug (?) has been assigned to someone in Ubuntu. I'll send him an e-mail tomorrow.

Nighty-night.
