Comment(by rudolfc):

 Just compiled and tested R28980, BTW the AboutSystem app doesn't work for
 some reason.

 I am typing while still running with a stick inserted, though (all)
 trouble isn't solved yet.
 I attached two more files for a succesfull mount and a complete write to
 stick of all files which make up the haiku system I am now running. A few
 folders I had to copy back from stick to HD since I (again) mix up copy
 and move actions in tracker.

 I am still unable to unmount the stick, I'll re-attempt in a few minutes.

 OK: things I see:
 -first insert of stick: nogo
 -second insert of stick: it appears in tracker in the mount menu
 -first and third attempt to mount the stick:
 I get KDL'd with:
 Could not read block 1: bytesread: -1, error: operation timed out
 This message appears three times after which the mount attempt is stopped
 (stick icon disappears from desktop and system nolonger KDL's). Now I can
 use Haiku normally  (it does not become unstable)
 The timeout must be something below or about 1 second or so since I am not
 aware of waiting time passing by between me selecting mount stick and the
 KDL happening.

 -second and fourth attempt to mount stick: no KDL's, just the icon
 onscreen. (as it should).
 -during the 4th attempt I wrote to and read from the stick as described
 above. As usual, speed seems normal for some time, then copy comes to a
 standstill but goes on after some time, slower, and with stopping
 intervals.
 -Apart from the slow copy running tracker remains responsive. I can still
 mount/unmount other HD partitions.
 -After tracker says it's completed I cannot unmount the stick. (I get the
 force warning). So it looks like background copying is still running.

 I'll be back shortly with an unmount attempt description.

 Rudolf.
