Hello,
If this doesn't seem obviouslywrong, I wnder if you are umounting the
/dev/sda1 before unplugging it?
There was another USB/Flash question regarding supermount. I just have a
simple '/dev/sda1 /mnt/fubar auto auto,user,noauto,ro 0 0' line in fstab and
I get a nifty icon (in 9.1) on the desktop after boot (even when there is no
disk in the reader. All I have to do is put a disk in and click the icon...
voila! I think its great, and I don't have to deal with any super-dooper
anything.
For what my opinion is worth,
