In my post 2 minutes ago, I forgot to add that after the first time,
re-plugging the donggle doesn't create a desktop icon automatically. But
mount /dev/sda1 creates the icon and mounts the device.

Few other ideas:
1. Try to write to an existing file. Create a file an a stable way
(e.g. after reboot - you said that works), then 'cat ' into it and
see if it stays there or returning to original content. When you do,
do umount and sync yourself before unplugging it. This should eliminate

BTW, it's weird that msdos is ahead of vfat when 'auto'. Does anyone
have any idea why is this? vfat exists for many years, and I don't
think it's considered less stable than msdos.

Hi,
I borrowed a friend's disk-on-key to try it on my Mandrake box. As hoped, I
was able to read data from the device with no problem. I just plugged in to
the USB and an icon appeared on the desktop. Clicking the icon mounted the
device. But I haven't been able to save data.
The permissions
Most of those devices have write protect latch/switch on them, make sure

If the switch doesn't work, try to mount it and unmount it manually. Don't
trust the automount, since this is sometimes a problematic issue...
When you unmount it, the file should then be copied, so leave the
disk-on-key connected for several moments, and only then remove/remount
it. Try it

I had a similar problem with my USB disk-on-key.
The problem happened when it was mounted as /dev/sda1 on mount point
(/mnt/diskonkey in my system).
When I changed it to mount as /dev/sda4, the problem disappeared.
YMMV, so check also other /dev/sda* devices.
Usually, kudzu detects as /dev/sda1
