I'm really happy fro you that you don't have this problem. I did not see
it either since fresh install of FC6, until couple weeks ago (cant tell
exact time). Now _all_ my removable storage (DAPs, pen-drives, all the
media cards through cardreader) is mounted read-only on this system.
Now, who tells me what packages have something to do with this
situation, I will trace their update and try to roll back to previous
version?

PS: I hate the person  who came up with *brilliant* idea to move  all
the removable stuff mounting configurations from fstab, everything was
so clear and easy there...
