I have an annoying little problem that I can't seem to solve.  I'm
certain someone on the list will be able to help.

I have a USB flash storage FOB formated with an ext3 file system.  When
I plug it in, something mounts it to /media/disk.  However, I can't
unmount it without first su-ing to root.

I guess the first question is what's mounting it?  It's not in
/etc/auto.master or /etc/auto.misc.  Nor is it in /etc/fstab.

Second, where can I set an option to allow non-root users to unmout it?

An excerpt from /var/log/messages follows.

Thanks in advance,
    - Chuck
