I don't think it has anything to do with FAT. |
| 27 |
Everything was working just find on my system before upgrade. |

With the line in fstab: |
| 30 |
/dev/sdb1 /media/stick auto noauto,rw,users 0 0 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Some USB stick are mounted as root:root and I can not change that even as root. |
| 33 |
When I remove this like from fstab. |
| 34 |
The USB stick are mounting correctly as joseph:users owner except they have different mounting location which I don't like. |
