if you have trouble writing voyage image to a CF,
this may be the reason.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734191
Briefly, udev / udisks will treat CF as a fixed disk (permanently installed)
and does not allow unmount / remount of the CF.
The upshot is that I can only write then unmount the CF once,
then a reboot is required to do it again. Actually 'unmount' doesnt
do it either, but 'eject' does properly flush the image to the disk
before unmounting it.
This is on Fedora-14, with udev version 161.
The proper fix should make it into udev 174,
read the bugzilla page for more definitive info.
