Fedora Core1 seems to insist on /mnt/flash as the mount point.

I added the following line to /etc/fstab

  /dev/sda1   /mnt/usb    auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

Then as non-root user, I can mount it and use it ok but,
once done, "umount /mnt/usb" take a long time to complete.
Some time after, both the directory /mnt/usb and the line
in /etc/fstab disappear and replaced by
  /dev/sda1     /mnt/flash  auto   noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

I have since capitulated to the system's idiosyncracy and
use /mnt/flash instead of /mnt/usb as the mounting
directory.
