You need to edit/create an fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. The hal docs |
| 12 |
should have details. |

The name of the disk default to the volume name, which you can set with |
| 15 |
mkfs.msdos. As for mounting sync, this is a bad idea with recent kernel |
| 16 |
implementations of FAT. It writes to the disk so often when saving files |
| 17 |
in sync that you can destroy a device in a few weeks (I know, I did). |
