Patrick, You're not paying attention. As I wrote, "my USB flash RAM devices have no entries in /etc/fstab."
Then add them.
And what device name do I use?
Now, *while* I happen to be *paying* attention (and not meaning to be rude) you might look into /var/log/messages right after plugging in the drive and see what dev-name is assigned or check /etc/fstab after the device is auto-mounted and back trace the link assigned for the device name.
btw, /etc/fstab *is* a *dynamic* listing of device mount-points and *is* editable and *will* use mount-points *you* assign.
Not *rude*, eh? /etc/fstab is by no means dynamic. I know perfectly well it's editable. /etc/mtab records the current mounted device status it is dynamic and not meant to be edited by humans.
