John,

Thanks for the reply.  I was thinking of doing the same as you but I 
was looking for a cleaner solution.  If the customer uses numerous 
devices, it could get messy cranking through the list of mounts 
before one is accepted.  I was surprised the kernel doesn't report 
the old flash partition since it knows enough not to create a 
new /dev.  Hopefully someone has another solution.
