Driveon

Probably, at some mount after /media/usbdisk was created, I explicitly mounted it Note that the exact mount point depends, but it's always under /media.
I noticed a similar problem (and reported it) earlier, but what I've seen is that the longer my system is up, the more likely it is to start failing to mount my flash drive. After a while, I have to mount it manually, and to change any files on it, I need to be the root.
Can anyone tell me/us what process recognizes the flash drives on insertion? (I.e., what is the automount process?) Or is there one? I'm not entirely clear on how CentOS/RH/Linux recognizes (or fails to) flash drives....
Thanks.
