[edit] Storage Device Limitations

[edit] No Support for Auto-assignment of USB Storage Devices in Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.10

Typically, storage devices will be automatically assigned to the same station as the keyboard if you connect them to either the same powered USB hub as the keyboard, or a USB port built into the keyboard. However, in systems running on Fedora 11 or Ubuntu 9.10, a USB storage device -- no matter which port it is plugged into -- will always be shared by all stations. Once a user opens (mounts) the device, it will belong to that user's station. Other stations will be unable to use the device. When the user unmounts the device, it will again be free for other stations to claim.

[edit] Auto-assignment of NTFS-formatted Flash Drives Is Not Supported

When a flash drive using NTFS formatting (instead of the default FAT formatting) is plugged in, the flash drive is not auto-assigned to the appropriate station. Instead, any station can access the drive.
