This sound very much like a problem I had/have. Does the dmesg show anything like this "[CUMANA/ADFS]" after connecting the disk-on-key?
Mine looks like: sdh: assuming drive cache: write through sdh: [CUMANA/ADFS] sdh1<5>sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdh But: # fdisk -l /dev/sdh Disk /dev/sdh: 1007 MB, 1007681536 bytes 16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3844 cylinders Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdh1 * 1 3844 984048 6 FAT16 Is this is the case for you too?
