I looked at the mtab, but "mount in a console" I am not sure how to display
it, I tried several mount options and get nothing. If I do
mount /dev/sda1
it comes back saying it is mounted in /media/usbdisk.

It mounts and I can see it, but I can only copy in or out of it as root,
so I have a permissions issue there too.

it is a camera CF and the camera has a format it sets up on the thing
Prior to upgrading this whole thing worked perfectly, why did they have
to screw it up???
Here is mtab and mount prior to inserting a cf device...

As I pointed out above, once I do this, I can look in it and read whatever
is in there as a user, but only root can modify it. If you will
notice, /dev/hda1 has
a vfat directory on it, any user can get into it and read or write to
it. I need for the
removables to have the same thing. Not sure why the upgrade shot the whole
thing in the foot, it was working so nicely.
