Hey Philippe,

big Thank You.
That works!

This is really "standard linux behaviour"? (seems I need to lear a lot more coming/staying from/on maemo)

So I tested to add ro=1 just behind g_file_storage,
and I needed to
killall usb_moded
and then after selecting mass storage mode my device was connected in read-only mode. Nice!

So only thing to do (as root):

Code:

sed -i s/g_file_storage/'g_file_storage ro=1'/ /etc/modprobe.d/meego.conf

to get write protection and

Code:

sed -i s/'g_file_storage ro=1'/g_file_storage/ /etc/modprobe.d/meego.conf

to get back write possibilty (at home or save PC).

Disclaimer:
I have tested with open mode (so no problem), but this meego.conf file is not in refhashlist and I have booted with stock kernel and it did not malf. So it will work. But I cannot take responsiblity.
