I searched a bit, but couldn't find an answer:

I have bought a 16GB microSD card, which works fine. I put a lot of stuff on it via USB (video podcasts). I can play them fine, but I cannot delete them, at least in the filemanager but there is no reason why I couldnt delete them.

Code:

/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1 type vfat (rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs type vfat (rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir)

But filesystems are mounted with the exakt same options.

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:/media/mmc1/Podcasts# ls -l
drwxrwxrwx    2 user     root        32768 Feb 14 21:36 Hak5

The directory looks fine, it has 777 permissions and belongs to user.

Therefore I can create folders, files and delete them.

Code:

/media/mmc1/Podcasts/Hak5 $ mkdir test
/media/mmc1/Podcasts/Hak5 $ rmdir test
/media/mmc1/Podcasts/Hak5 $ touch test
/media/mmc1/Podcasts/Hak5 $ rm test

I can also delete every file already there, also the file permissions for those files wouldnt matter (the delete right is the right of the containg folder).

When I browse the folder with the file manager, there is just no "delete" menu item as on the internal storage. Why???
