Thread: removeable drive mounted read-only

i have portable hard drive says read-only filesystem, although have read-write access files ok.

i've found do

code:

unmount device. mount -o rw /device /mountpoint.

but put /device , /mountpoint?

think it's @ /media/sdb1

when start tail -f on kern.log can see drive beeing plugged in.

tail -f /var/log/kern.log

plug in drive.
drive mounted ( readonly ? )
can umount , remount on directory like.
best not let overlap directory understand.

drive mounted read-only? there might problem.

after unount </dev/sdxx> check whithout writing first with

fsck -n </dev/sdxx>

( have had troubles in writing ntfs in past, mount read-only , , never check them on linux )

options fsck depend partialy on type of filesystem.

if know problem is, take further steps resolve...
