hallo
i have SUSE 11 and Linux mint on my laptop.
i aslo own a 1TB external drive which is formated on ext3
i use this HD for quite some time i had no problem with slackware when i backed up my files.
now i want to copy some more files on the external HD.
i have no problem reading the contents inside the external HD.
but when i try to copy on the External HD the system changes it to read-only or even umount it....
