To manually mount the device, I've added an entry to fstab, so I get the
following messages:
------------------------------------------------------
salvi@asus:~$ pmount -d /dev/mmcblk0p1
resolved /dev/mmcblk0p1 to device /dev/mmcblk0p1
device /dev/mmcblk0p1 handled by fstab, calling mount
------------------------------------------------------

and the device regualrly appears on the desktop.

If I delete the device form /etc/fstab the result is:

---------------------------------------------
salvi@asus:~$ pmount -d /dev/mmcblk0p1
resolved /dev/mmcblk0p1 to device /dev/mmcblk0p1

--------------------------------------------------------

and the device is not mounted.

I noticed that pmount reports that the device is not removable (that is
incorrect). How can I mark it removable?

Why, when the device is in fstab and pmount succedes it doesn't get
automounted?

Thank you again
