Dunno. However, one thing to keep in mind (as far as
removeable media is concerned at least): If you're in the
directory where the removeable media is mounted, you can't
unmount the drive. i.e. if you're in a console window, and
you've got a cdrom mounted in /mnt/cdrom, you can NOT
umount that drive if you're in /mnt/cdrom viewing the
contents of the drive. Same goes for /mnt/floppy, etc.
