The same thing has happened to me in fc7. As I said in an earlier posting, it's more than a nuisance than anything else. Except that I can't see my Zip drive at the moment even though it was A-OK under FC6. I am still struggling with this one because, even though Zips are considered obsolete now, I still have lots of stuff stored on them and I would like to get at those data soon. I've tried rebuilding fstab and mtab but without much success. I am still working on this and, yes, it's sure an irritation. But, as I said, I am not put off Linux because of minor things such as that. I really like the fact that my system is always there for me when I want it and doesn't mysteriously die on me even when I'm not there (as was my experience with W95 and W98).
