When Palm began rolling out webOS 1.4.5 to German and French networks, it was noted that the update included a bug which wasn't updated the /etc/fstab file system, which caused the media/internal drive to be marked as read-only for PDK applications. Today, Palm said that despite that bug, it's still rolling out webOS 1.4.5. "We've spent the last week attempting to address this issue in a way that would not require restarting the carrier certification process, but we've concluded that this is not possible.

The next update should fix the problem.
