But now the pen seems to be really stuck, just look at this:

Unable to open /dev/sdc

And also:

Unable to open /dev/sdc1

This is not a disaster, it just means that I have to consider this flash
pen obsolete and buy a new one.
I have been using it for backup of some hard disk directories,  so it is
no big deal if I lose whats on it, since my harrdisk is intact.

Perhaps I should buy a  removable HD instead.

Plug the drive in, and then run "tail /var/log/messages" to see what
messages are generated. I would not be surprised to if the problem
was that the drive was assigned a different letter. Also, you do not
want to use fdisk on anything but the base drive. Using it on
/dev/sdc1 will produce all kinds of interesting errors on a good drive.

Sorry, I discovered this too late (The eyes stand in the way of eyesight):

[root@localhost trade]# tail /var/log/messages
Oct 29 19:47:26 localhost kernel: sd 9:0:0:0: [sdf] Write Protect is off

:

It says sdf, not sdc. Is that the problem maybe?
