a) Re-formatting the disk with reiserfs or ext3 or so. I tried that first with my memory stick: Formatting with Yast partition. This gave me some problems like now it is detected but always owned by root and I apparently cannot change that (even as root)
mount it and chmod/chown it then. If it is automounted, first "cd" into the directory and then call "chown/chmod ."
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 ." 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.
b) Quicker fix: set mount option for the disk to shortname=winnt.
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 this way.
