Leaving aside the implications of leaving open a root console, that |
| 12 |
mounts the stick as root. That's fine for a FAT filesystem as you can |
| 13 |
specify mount options to make it world-readable, but what about an |

external drive formatted with ext? What about an external drive with |
| 15 |
multiple partitions? |
