fdisk -l /dev/sda

After mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda1 /var/log/messages shows:

Jan 8 20:18:58 foo devlabel: devlabel service started/restarted
If I try to mount it using from Gnome menu I only get one of the errors:
Nautilus was unable to mount the selected volume.
It works fine when I manually add the fstab entry. I was just trying to figure out a way to get it to work automatically.
Thanks
