6 If the mount process detects a problem, it'll set the filesystem as
7 readonly. You'll have to back up the data from the stick, repartition
8 and reformat the stick, and then restore the data. There's no guarantee
9 that the data will be 100% correct.

11 Try the following...
12
13 open a terminal; su to root; execute the command...
14 tail -f /var/log/messages
15
16 insert the USB stick. Do you see any mention of filesystem panic in the
17 output?
