Oops, you're right. I guess the options I was thinking of don't work |
| 13 |
for ext2/3. They do work for fat, cifs, hfs, hpfs, ntfs, iso9660, and |
| 14 |
various others. |

I very rarely put a writable filesystem on a USB flash drive. I treat |
| 17 |
them either as a CD/DVD for installation ISO images, or I use them as |
| 18 |
"tapes" and just tar stuff to/from them. |

I do make a point of using consistent UID/GID values across multiple |
| 21 |
installations, so on the rare occasions I do put a writable filesystem |
| 22 |
on a flash drive, it "just works". |
