But vi_ has another thread open with a hint to do that automatically, I did not have time to check/test that myself.

No, not strange at all.
Just look at the first post's date

So, only "little" chance for you to detect that

I get /dev/loop0 4086976 8276 4078700 0% /home/user/MyDocs/.maps
Looks like it is working pretty well
Hm, I think I will just copy things to my SD card and move it to internal memory if necessary

1/ the rights - I want to have all odd-numbered subdirs for mappero readonly - to keep only every second zoom tile - with the actual zoom level the maps details are too faint to view (I didnt manage? under fat).
2/ I can imagine to link some more map directories from SD card anytime when needed.

OK.
Point 1 is not to beat (at all).
If you like/need read/write access to set explicitly, there is no other chance than ext (1024 bs ?). The vFat image itself may be mounted write protected, but only the complete imgae (not down to single directories).
And I do not mind anyone to use ext, my personal favorite is vFat.
Point 2 may also be achieved with whatever file system you use.
)ust map the single Map Providers as storage files (e.g. OSMI and OSMII) to as many directories you need under /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/xxx.

I am afraid we have to live with that, But there is a workaround:
before putting N900 into mass storage mode, type in x-term
