$ mount

proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

I also went into the Ubuntu Device Manager where I can see
volume.fsversion = FAT32.

But, there are really only two reasons I'm using FAT32.
1. I was too lazy to reformat it.  :-)
2. Maximum portability, I can plug it into any computer to access the
data.  But that isn't even a valid concern since I can pop an Ubuntu
LiveCD into any computer.

I guess I'll try formatting it as ext3 and see how it goes.

Thanks,
Matt
