*upd*
After mounting my media with fat32 filesystem I've got it at /media/XPOD; with FAT it was /media/da0s1.
*trying `umount -f /media/XPOD`*
The device folder in Dolphin is shown as empty now, no objects, no info. In Plasma quick-device-access there's still my XPOD displayed as a mounted device (can't see the unmount button tho). The player is still being chargin' from the usb and it still shows that the player is connected to my laptop.
*created folder on the desktop called xPod, trying `mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 ~/Desktop/xPod` now*
Eureka! It's alive! I'm in desktop:/xPod atm, gonna transfer one song to it. I'll pick Shirley Mansons' Samson and Delilah :)
It's a 6.6mb mp3 file; transferring files using dolphin. It took about 8 seconds to transfer it to desktop:/xPod/MUSIC dir.
*and now*
I'm clicking on dolphin's... oh no wait, there's no `safe remove` button anymore - it's on desktop so there're a list for places instead of it and folder's icon. Changing directory to /media/XPOD/ (the link is in the bottom of my 'places' list in dolphin).
*2 seconds later*
The location didn't change, it has shown me an error:
*trying to unmount the device manually as Brodey taught me*
[root <at> pcbsd ~]# umount -f /dev/da0s1
After doing this, I've got my device unlinked from a desktop folder but now I can access to it through dolphin at /media/XPOD-1
Now I'm unmounting it throught dolphin's `Unmount 'XPOD'` thingy.
Player is still receiving power from my laptop and don't want to accept my actions like a disconnect.
*pluggin-off my usb wire from laptop, then from device*
Device is being rebooted now, I'm gonna check the song.
...
Same old thing - the track is lagging in the worst way, about til' the first minute. Then there were a little 'clean part' and then it has stopped playing so it's at 00:00 now.
Other songs are playing in the good way, they were transferred from windows machine after I've formatted it with fat32 filesystem.
*Uh oh, Huh...*

I forget which sizes are affected, but it is important to mount that mount_msdosfs must have the "-o large" switch enabled. Most automounters will disregard a device plugged in that is too large, but this may be an issue with the Kauto mount.
Try -o large if mount -t... returns nothing.

Kris,
I've been sort of loosely watching this thread. Is there any easy
test this to see if this is isolated perhaps to certain chipsets on
certain mothers boards (AMD chipset v. Intel v. NForce v. VIA, etc.)
that the rest of us can test and confirm? Typically, USB flash drives
UNDER 2GB will come out of the factory formatted to 2GB. Anything
OVER 2GB has ot be FAT32 or some other size due to FATs 2GB ceiling.
I've tried my 4GB and 8GB Sandisk drives with no loss or data error
but they are formatted FAT32. I have plenty of time to run some tests
with USB drivers ranging from 128 FAT or FAT32 to 8GB FAT32 to play with.
Arthur
