This does raise a question I have as I've yet to try it. How easy
is it to use one of those USB drives with Linux? Does it autoload
or do you have to mount the device?
All file systems in Linux must be mounted. There are utilities out
there to automatically mount a device on "hotplug". USB Flash drives
go through the USBSTORAGE modules which in turn use the SCSI layer to
communicate. You can format them, partition them and use any
filesystem you like. You can even install a boot loader. Hope this
helps.
