So, is this a bug in the automounter? Is there a reason why a removable (flash) drive MUST have a label for the automounter to see it? This doesn't happen with flash memory cards (compact flash, SD), just USB flash (disk) drives. Seems funky....
Anything in the logs?

I didn't think to look then, and I can't find anything there now.
Interesting side note: I have another drive that (still) has no label, amd CentOS mounts that one as /media/disk every time. Go figure.
Maybe the drive that doesn't mount doesn't announce itself correctly? Rather like the problem with some monitors. I believe I have read of such problems, but can't remember where. For automounting to work some info has to be read from the drive, I believe, so this does seem a possibility.
