Well, to answer H.J. and Rob :
No, of course my camera doesn't hold 17 GB (!) - only 128 MB.
It took me a while to post this, because I had to reboot 4 times in
order to get rid of all those strange icons and calm down my CPU a
little.
I tried "supermount -i disable" with no succes, and I removed
"magicdev" as well. No changes, still this camera (or is it the xD
card in it ?) haunts my system. I even tried to connect it to my
daughters Windows-box in order to check if the card was defunct,
which it isn't (and the camera screen works O.K.).
To me this seems like a USB malfunction. I tried to add the camera
to /etc/fstab with different settings, like sda0 and sda1, umask=0,
noauto, user etc.. etc.... Still no go.
