Presumably (in a FC3 update), we could just choose not add the 'ro'
option that we add for optical drives; e.g. the entry on my laptop would
be

 /dev/hdc                /media/cdrecorder       auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

rather than

/dev/hdc                /media/cdrecorder       auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Can anyone see an issue (security etc) with doing that? For traditional
optical media it will get mounted 'ro' anyway.

Cheers,
