I'd be interested in confirming that usbmount is now unusable and unfixable on Fedora, if that is what is being suggested. Can anyone provide technical details?

It may try sda first, but I don't think that is something new. OK a list of files found in /dev then, why would anybody try to mount sda if sda1 is present? I can see trying to mount sda if there was no partition table present, but if there is a table why try? It's going to fail. Doesn't matter, there are acceptable replacements for that functionality, just another package that's not part of Fedora that won't need to be maintained going forward.

Re: [Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 67, Issue 12
Hi, I placed the activities in the library on the school server -Django app. Browse downloads a selected activity. Users can erase unneeded activities to manage storage (they can always be installed again). The updater is not really needed since the model is that the deployment updates the server annually before school starts. This seems reasonable since most activity updates relate to changes in the Sugar environment which also would be updated annually. It was reported at one time that the underlying model (Firefox add-ons) was moving to Django and that ASLO would do so also. If that happens, it would be easy to remount on a SS.

Any reason your not using the XS's built-in activity server?[1] Seems like a better way of using the built-in[2] software on the XO which looks for the schoolserver for activities to be updated by default without adding anything new to the XS except for the newer activities.
