Gnome, KDE probs with USB flash drives

I'm faced problems in KDE and Gnome both with USB flash media.

While I use SD card in USB card-reader or just USB flash drive I cant copy files for full the memory on it.

For example, 512 Mb of flash drive. I want to copy on it 400 Mb, firstly it runs good but speed of the copying slow down and the message appears: Not enought memory for copying blah blah blah (copied only 100 or 150 Mb)... KDE doesnt want to copy without any messages. Same thing appears on my laptop.

When I use console 'cp' command - it works well. Flash drive has FAT format. I tried to 'dd' to full flash with zeros, formatted it several times, but when same problem appears on SD card I realized that its not flash drive fault.

What's the prpblem and solution? Help will be apreciated.

Another one problem with Gnome - after updating to Gnome 2.20 or 2.21 icons from menu-bar desapeared. I asked about in the other tread but nobody answered. Update to 2.22 didnt heal this inconvenience.

Offtopic can full flash drive completely:(

Re: Gnome, KDE probs with USB flash drives

yep, i had done it long time ago but problem still exist.

I get back icons from gconf-editor but looks like it affects only one session. After rebooting they disapeared again. I think something wrong with paths coz on my laptop 'menus_have_icons' key is in gconf.xml.defaults in /etc/gconf but on my desktop its in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml.

As I said before it happened after Gnome update.
