I think, if it was a format problem, I would see a /dev/sda1 node, but
wouldn't be able to mount it. I don't even see that /dev/sda1 , and
fdisk has no access to /dev/sda (to reformat the disk)

Thanks, but I already have vfat selected in kernel (not as module) and a
fstab entry. Furthermore, the same USB disk has worked once before (with
small files). 

If only it was such a stupid mistake ! (I'm used to such "user bugs",
but this time, I've got the sad feeling I did everything correctly...)


Thanks for the help.
