I would like to mount a filesystem on a hot-plugged usb drive - i.e. a drive
plugged in after colinux started up. Do I have any hope of getting this to work?
Or will something freeze if I put a line like the above referring to a file
system that doesn't yet exist? More importantly, can I have any guarantee that
the Windows path for the filesystem won't change each time I hot-plug?

Thanks,

Martin
