Does it all work with udev removed?  I.e., can you mount a flash
card into a static device?

Yes, I can mount the card reader manually.

I have since discovered that pmount, which is used by gnome-volume-manager, is only executable for the group plugdev. Once I made it executable for all, most hotpluggable devices mounted immediately.


Somehow, I like the requirement to manually mount hot devices.
It's a reminder that, "No, this isn't *your*computer.  You're
one of many *users* on a multi-user box, not the *owner*." Even if the person owns the h/w.

Must be a holdover from my mainframe and early VAX/VMS days.


Aha! TSO and VM/CMS here. Hear IBM is heading back that way ;-)
