Yes it should, it's podd that is appears as a character device. |

It's not the same. A filesystem on a single partition filling the device |
| 15 |
is not the same as a filesystem on the device itself. Both are possible, |
| 16 |
and mountable, but not at the same time. I've just checked with with a |
| 17 |
single partition device to be sure, it didn't work. |

I do that for some drives, but my USB sticks are always a single |
| 30 |
partition, so I give the name to the partition not the device. I also set |
| 31 |
NAME and put %k in SYMLINK, because pmount uses the name to create the |
| 32 |
directory in /media, and I want the device mounted |
| 33 |
at /media/somethingmeaningful, not /media/sdxn. |
