mount it and chmod/chown it then.
If it is automounted, first "cd" into the directory and then call "chown/chmod ."
OK, I'll try that.
and sometimes I got 0K free and 0K available
That's an automount-related problem. Again, cd into /media/where-it-is and call "df ."
That's what I did - I think?
Also note that journaling filesystems need some space for the journal etc. - but this shouldn't take all the space on a 256 MB stick.
Yes I know...
My question is: How can I set the mount options for the disk (can also be set for all USB storages, since they normally come as FAT32) within the hal/udev system? Any pointers?
Untested: Have a look at the 10.0 release notes - they describe how to automount without sync option. Maybe you can also add other options
I overlooked that (sorry), it is worth a try. I tried out to back-up my directory to the manually mounted FAT 32 system, but it is really to much trouble. While I got most of the uppercase/lowercase problems solved (only if I have two directories named DIR and dir I get a problem, but I shouldn't have that) Kmail (and maybe others) has names with ':' in it which don't get copied. So I will go on and format the disk to reiserfs. If I need to set special mount options I try out if I can do it like described in the release notes.
