No U3 issues. On Windows it shows up as an unlabeled removable drive.
I put a label on it, then took it back to my CentOS desktop and
voila! Automounted and ready to go.
So, is this a bug in the automounter? Is there a reason why a
removable (flash) drive MUST have a label for the automounter to see
it? This doesn't happen with flash memory cards (compact flash, SD),
just USB flash (disk) drives. Seems funky....
