I’m assuming that you created a mount point or directory on your root filesystem named /ThumbDrive before you added this line to /etc/fstab?

Were you able to mount and unmount the partition from that location before you rebooted?

My major concern with modifying my own fstab file is because the disks mounted on the USB or even SD Card slot seem to show up a significant amount of time after the boot disk has been mounted.

My angstrom distribution automounted disks under the /media/ sub directory structure.
