| well, we're thinking of doing some tool a la kudzu's updtfstab to

Then there must be some easy way to force kudzu to recognize it as a
removeable disk. Like be able to set "removeable" in diskdrake, so that
it gives a 0 for the fsck field (which I currently have to put in
manually) and so that you don't have to keep configuring the right place
for your partitions to be mounted.

I don't know how updtfstab works, but whatever the solution is, it
shouldn't be more effort than not having it.
