[Discuss] memory stick issue

[Jerry Feldman]

Generally I use the Disks utility to format thumb drives, but mk2fs should
do the same thing. After formatting the drive, remove it, and reinsert it.
That should automatically mount it. Or try mounting it to a different mount
point. Also, the thumb drive should not be mounted when you format it
