I know sometimes its hard to tell what the real cause of a problem is. Having a USB mass storage read-only can happen. IIRC, there are USB sticks which have a hw switch to protect it against writes, even if you mount it r/w. But I haven't seen a GPS device that can do that yet, so this might not apply here ;) But instead of silently disappearing, a warning about a "unknown/generic" problem that might have occurred seems to be a bit more user friendly, but that might be just me ;) Anyways, I filled the GPS with garbage, up to 0 bytes left, and wanted to see what happens when I try uploading waypoints to it. QLGT actually lied to me, telling me that the upload succeeded. The block holding the directory entry seemed to be not totally filled, since it was able to create a MyWaypoints.gpx file, but that file was empty :( So, don't want to bash anything or anyone here. QLGT is a great software, and all your work is highly appreciated. cheers, Sebastian > > > Oliver > > Hi, > > > > I'm on OpenBSD, with Oregon 550, using Garmin Mass Storage to access the > > device, QLGT 1.5.3. > > Mounting the GPS on a directory gives ownership of the files to the owner > > of the directory where it is mounted. > > > > If I am not the owner, then I cannot write to it.
