There are several highly experienced ThinkPad uses here so I'm confident a couple of issues on my 'new' X200 will quickly be resolved.
1. As root and as a user when I quit from viewing a file, e.g., /etc/fstab in an Xfce4 terminal rather than clearing the screen and displaying the command line prompt again the prompt overwrites the top-most line of the file's content and the rest of the file's content is below it. I've not before encountered this and it appears to be X Window System related; this does not happen when viewing a file on a console. 2. After tailing /var/log/messages to ensure that the USB flash drive is recognized as sdb1 I entered this line in /etc/fstab, /dev/sdb1 /mnt/thumb vfat auto,users,ro 0 0 which is what I've used on other hosts. Now, even after a reboot neither root or a user can attach the USB flash drive with the command, 'mount /mnt/thumb' because it's the wrong file system type, has a bad master block, or some other issue. Root can 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/thumb' with no problem. Your thoughts on diagnosing the cause are needed.
