This line does not look correct.

change /dev/sd1 /mnt/flash auto to the following.

Code:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat owner,user  0  0

just to make sure when you plug it in your device is on sda or sd. Tell use what you get from an fdisk -l. The above should work though.

Not really an Enterprise question. Moving thread to the Linux - Newbie forum to get the exposure it deserves.

ubuntu seems to have great support for flash drives, i just plug mine in and it works 100%
