Hello Hendrik,
Maybe KMail makes the change when you exit it.

Exactly. I stumpled upon this, too ;)

Yes, not the hal package itself, but at least libhal0 ;-)
Well might be that you have to install the whole shebang before KDE
recognizes when an USB stick is inserted. I have hal, dbus, udev and here
it works for USB drives with or without partitions on it. Before that I
also used pmount.
I have still some USB drives configured manually in /etc/fstab to have
them mounted without "sync" option which gives faster, cached writing.
Hmmm, but I might be wrong about that since the manual page of pmount
says:
" -s, --sync
Mount the device with the sync option, i. e. without write caching.
Default is async (write-back). With this ption, write operations are
much slower and due to the massive increase of updates of inode/FAT
structures, flash devices may suffer heavily if you write large
files. This option is intended to make it safe to just rip out USB drives
without proper unmounting."
So it seems async is standard for pmount. I thought this has been sync
some time before.
