Comment 3 for bug 1014813

OK, your average USB stick has a FAT partition:

$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 2002 MB, 2002780160 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 7640 cylinders, total 3911680 sectors
Disk identifier: 0xc3072e18

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 8064 3911679 1951808 6 FAT16

and it gets mounted as the user:

$ ls -la /media/
total 44
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 18 16:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:37 ..
drwx------ 2 roadmr roadmr 16384 Dec 31 1969 MUSHKIN

So it looks like yours has a weird partitioning scheme. Just for completeness, here's the line from "mount" that describes the USB stick:

/dev/sdc1 on /media/MUSHKIN type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks)

I'll set importance: Low as it would affect only weird partitioning schemes, but it's still worthwhile to fix it.
