Fedora will only mount my USB drive as read-only
I just bought a 32GB USB drive, and it was working fine.
All when i tried to use it later, it would only mount as read-only. You'd tell me to check the switch which some USB drives have, well this one doesn't have one. Does this sound like anything to anyone? any suggestions? kind regards //Santiago |
I did find another post with some instructions on how to manually mount a USB drive:
mount -a -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/USBDRIVE -o user,exec,dev,suid,rw,umask=000 (although it still only mounts as read only) but why would all of a sudden Fedora change how it mounts my USB? |
try another os like pupply linux or a live distro. If it still does it, then must be the USB stick.

that is normal for fedora
it is a security default setting you might need to edit your /etc/fstab file see the fedora help pages http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ -- user guide -- http://docs.fedoraproject.org/user-g...12/en-US/html/ common bugs https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs and DangerMouses site http://dnmouse.org/forum/viewforum.p...5dd88a07ecde2d |

I'm starting to think it's the actual drive itself.
i've tried it on a few different computers, and it's the same. but does anyone know what could've caused this, or if there's a fix? //Santiago |
A usb flash drive could have had it's bit flipped but almost always you'd have to do that. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/sharing...ows-and-linux/
Not sure how linux even handles it. Normally Fedora has user permissions. Something like removable devices or such needs to edited. |
