USB Mounted read-only on FC4
Good day all.
I am a new to linux redhat and fedora core, and I am having problem with my 1 GB Samsung Mighty Drive USB flash drive which is mounting as read-only filesystem.
I had a look at the fstab files and it ok.
I have no problem with other usb flash drives, and even its working fine in W2K system.
1. How can i make it not to mount as read-only file-system, and make it mount as usual?
2. Or is it a known problem with the above usb flash drive model or type?
Regards
Robs

Try this
mount -o remount,rw devicename
This should remount the device in rw mode.

I'll try this as root user, however how about non-root user trying with usermount or using the Disk Management tool under Systems Tools?
The same problem. mounted as read-only file-system.
Usually when usb flash inserted into the usb port, a usb icon usually appear on the desktop (boot root and non-root users), right? This does not appear at all for the mentioned above device.

Chances are linux didnt detect this device as a proper usb memory device.
Connect the usb drive and type
dmesg
See what information is given by linux.
This should help in sorting the issue.
Also try adding a manual entry to fstab with some dir of yours [say /mnt/flash1] and try mounting it.
