Did you restart the supermount daemon, or tell it to reread its configuration file? Did you try mounting the device by hand, to be certain the sync option wasn't set? Actually, I don't know for certain that "-o sync" will cause those TEST UNIT READY commands to be sent, but I can't think of anything else that would do it. > Anyway, yesterday came a friend of mine with its 2.0pen and it was working > great on my computer, at full speed, so I guess the problem is with my pen: Could be.

There's a whole document explaining how to set up your own rules; I don't know the details. I think you need to add an extra configuration file with a special rule matching the pendrive.
