[ale] quick USB storage device question

[Thomas Holmquist]

Actually, in the case of USB thumbdrives, you would normally mount /dev/sda 
(No partition!). Mucking with Fstab on such a device is only asking for 
trouble (I have corruped a 256mb SD card by not knowing what I was doing and 
fstabing all over the place)
