When mounting an IOMega e-go USB external drive, it mounts read-only
Hi-
I attached an IOMega e-go portable USB hard drive to my debian Linux system. Automounted fine and I thought great. But unfortunately, it will only mount read-only and I cannot change permissions to allow write access. Is there a compatibility problem or simply need to edit fstab or somethng??
Yes,it is an NTSF drive and the relavent output from mount is:
/dev/sda1on /media/Iomega_HDD type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umak=077,iochrset=utf8)
