There's a subtle difference between the case where the drive is removable, like USB, and where the drive remains but the media is removable, like Zip drives, and I need to cope with that. >Incidentally, while we're on the subject, its not possible to automount >USB devices, it seems, coz the appropriate device isn't fed through >devd.conf.
