I have a problem, in that some USB memory keys are not loaded correctly.

I am confident that our server is working correctly for local devices, with 
correct client hostnames, fuse set-up etc.  I have done loads of research, 
but beyond the suggestion of formatting the drive, have not come across any 
resolution.

The symptoms are that, on the client shell, the USB auto-detection finishes 
with:

  sda: Unknown partition table

There is nothing in /tmp/drives.

If, on the client, I then type:

# mkdir /tmp/drives/DriveName
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /tmp/drives/DriveName

They mount fine and the contents are visible on the client (but not from the 
desktop).

So it would seem that there is nothing inherently wrong... it's just the 
auto-detection which isn't working.

I suspect that formatting the USB key would work, but I've already got more 
empty working USB keys than I will ever find a use for - what I need is to be 
able to access the data - without resorting to Windows!

So is there some way in which I can modify our configuration to enable these 
drives to be loaded automatically?  Failing that, is there some way to do it 
manually each time.

Thanks!
