Note that this probably doesn't do what you think it does. The
redirect is applied by the shell that you're running in, so it's
writing the output of the sudo command (which is itself the output of
the uname command) as the user that executed the sudo command. What
you probably want is this:
sudo bash -c "uname >/mnt/cnfusb/fred"
In this case, the redirection is being done by the shell run from
inside sudo, and therefore is set up to write as the superuser.
