I bought a Sandisk Cruzer (USB adapter for SD memory cards). I took it home and I plugged it in. FreeBSD found it and I was able to mount it. Here's the catch - it's mounting read-only. So I figured I'd boot into Windows (2k) and see if it behaved any differently, with no luck. I've found that once every 10 or 15 times I plug it in I'm able to mount it r/w.. I'm hesistant to force a r/w mount since i may lose data (what's causing the r/w mount to fail in the first place?).. Is anybody else having hassles or am I alone? Any input would be appreciated.. Cheers --george
