The N800 may not provide enough power via the USB port for your flash drive. Some work, some require power injection, a powered USB hub, etc.

Does anyone know if you can attach a label when using gparted in Ubuntu to format the cards to ext2? I tried doing so and now Maemo can't read the cards. It also shows a lost+found folder which usually comes from fsck. It seems that only root can write to cards..

Edit: I gave up on it. It doesn't seem to be a benefit since I'd have to fsck the cards anyway.

"lost+found" exists on any ext2 or ext3 filesystem. fsck puts recoverable stuff there, but the folder is there from the beginning. And you can only write as root because the mountpoint doesn't let you write to the directory as user.
If the card is mounted /media/mmc1, try this as root:
Code:
chmod o+rwx /media/mmc1
while the card is mounted. This will allow anyone to put files onto the card.
