I've been using a 128 mb crucial usb memory stick for a couple of months now with little problems. Recently i purchased a 256 mb memory stick (part of a pen called the atache by pny) and it seemed to work fine...when i use the new stick everything seems to work fine except about 10 minutes after i use it (plugged in or not) kde freezes. I can move the mouse around but ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+F# does nothing.

 

I've looked at some of the logs in /var/logs (messages I think) and it seems that when i use the new memory stick i get some i/o errors, but these shouldn't lock the system up.

 

Should I modify my fstab entry so the memory sticks do not mount to the same point? Right now they mount to /mnt/removable and they both mount automatically when plugged in.

 

Could the hardware be defective?
