Hello,

thank you very much for the quick replies.

I used 'lsblk' to find out that the stick was recognized (as 'sdd').
Then I called 'sudo journalctl -e' and saw that the system has a problem:
Nov 17 08:57:27 PC4 kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] No Caching mode page found
Nov 17 08:57:27 PC4 kernel: sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: 
write through

Maybe the reason for that is that I had previously written some data 
with Windows (as I have done several times before).

Anyway: I removed pmount and used another stick and everything works as 
expected.

The most interesting part of this incident is, that I learned about new 
tools to analyze a problem.

Thank you.
