Matt et al:

Just to make sure I understand things correctly, let me summarize what I 
think was the final conclusions this thread.

----------------------

If you want to use a USB device that is accessed through the mass 
storage driver, and the size of the media may change, you must manually 
mount the device (mount /dev/sda) and eject when finished (eject 
/dev/sda).  You cannot use autofs with these devices.

The reason autofs cannot be used is because it performs the functional 
equivalent of mount/umount, but not the "eject".

----------------------

Is this correct?  Am I missing anything?  If so, can people make 
suggestions, then maybe the above text with modifications can go as an 
entry in http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html.
