Greetings:
When I unmount a USB memory stick my machine becomes completely
unresponsive. I can't access a console and even the sysreq key sequences
don't work. I end up shutting it down with the power button.
My /etc/fstab has this line:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 /media/usb auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
This is an IBM R40 laptop running Sarge.
Any ideas for using USB sticks successfully?
(Yes, I'll upgrade to Etch eventually, but right now I'm too busy for
that.)

- From the console, or within X?
From Konsole within X.
Are you sure that it's successfully mounted?
I can access the contents of the Swissbit stick in Konqueror.
I'd run "# tail /var/log/syslog" in one xterm, while in the other
run "# umount -v /media/usb".

I tried first with the Swissbit stick.

After umount, tried:

Could not find /media/usb in mtab
umount: /media/usb is not mounted (according to mtab)

Removing stick results in:

Even after unmounting, Konqueror still indicates that it's mounted in the
devices directory.
Inserting "M" stick (no mount command) results in:
R40:/home/ellsworth# tail /var/log/syslog

It looks like it thinks it's a cd?! It's loading usb-storage. Why is it
creating /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sda1?
What do I do about this?
Thanks in advance for advice here!
