If the mount process detects a problem, it'll set the filesystem as
readonly. You'll have to back up the data from the stick, repartition
and reformat the stick, and then restore the data. There's no guarantee
that the data will be 100% correct.
Try the following...
open a terminal; su to root; execute the command...
tail -f /var/log/messages
insert the USB stick. Do you see any mention of filesystem panic in the
output?
