USB automount - storage limit

I have an A500 and a 4GB San Disk Cruzer USB thumb drive. Everything seems to work well and the USB storage automounts when I insert the drive, but... only if I have less than 1GB of files on the drive. The drive is still usable if I go over that limit, but I have to go into settings->storage->usb storage and mount the drive from there.
Has anyone else seen this or is it just my drive?

Welcome to the forums, rnearhoof.

I had that issue a while back, and found that a re-format of the drive resolved it. I didn't back up anything on the thumb drive, but you might want to do that. I chose not to on the chance that the portion of the drive with the files on it could have been the corrupted part and I didn't want to import the problems back onto the newly formatted drive space, so I wanted to start from scratch with it.
