The problem that I have with this line of logic is that I have no "sda" in /sys/block until AFTER I plug in my flash drive, therefore adding a line in boot.local that references "sda" won't do anything except generate an error message (or nothing at all) if there is no flash drive present at boot, which is the case here. I would think that the same process that detects the flash drive and adds the "sda" directory should also add the proper timeout value.
