Will take care that I will have it in my kernel config :-). This seems to
me the best solution of all suggestions I got so far.

Only drawback, which probably cannot be solved, to automatically unmount :-)
when the user is about to pull the stick.

Is there a detach line?

Or can the writing to the msdosfs be flushed everytime (if not adjusted that
way per se)?
