 There's no need for heuristic in the solution. Is the directory on a 
temporarily mounted device? Yes -> don't put it in the cache. Or more 
advanced: A directory may remain in the cache only if it's either not on a 
temporarily mounted device or if it's on the same device as the current 
directory.

 The only problem  may be how to exactly know what a temporarily mounted 
device is.
