I think it would apply to any FAT filesystem but maybe not if it is on a raw device. I'd guess many USB keys don't come with DOS partitions on them? My DOS partitioned Compact Flash card (sda1) with the label "Photographs" is mounted under /media/Photographs when I insert it. Seems like about half the CF cards I've seen are partitioned and the others are not. I haven't tried any non-partitioned cards on FC3 yet. You don't particularly need DOS partitions even on hard disks; except for DOS compatibility and the BIOS boot disk. My LVM physical volumes are directly on unpartitioned disks: /dev/hdc, hdf, hdg, hdh -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
