The reason it does is the line in the /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0 -- Now that line is managed by the fstab-sync system. Clearly your line could not be referring to /dev/sda1. I would assume that you need to edit the fstab-sync files and choose another device e.g /dev/sdb1 on which to mount the stick. Unfortunately I can't quickly find the file that needs editing but a line like the one above needs to show up in your fstab file. Maybe someone can come up with the needed changes that need to be made. ======================================================================= Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.
