I would like to mention that I have seen some flash based USB devices, 
when formatted in either FAT16/FAT32 (I don't remember which, sorry, I 
will try again later) would not mount on the desktop, but would work 
fine when mounted manually with fstype "vfat", as expected.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
