I am trying to copy data from one disk to the other disk by connecting each disk to the USB port.

I got this error

Code:



$ rsync -av /mnt/usb1/* /mnt/usb2

Norton Ghost Backups.rar

Does anyone know what this mean? my usb1 is is vfat32 (external disk) and usb2 is my new disk with ext3 fs.

It clearly says that the destination is a read only filesystem, so you can't write to it. running "mount" shuold confirm that that location is mounted as "ro". how did you mount it in the first place?

it is a usb drive. and I just call

$ mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb2

I will have to check the permission again. I posted it here since all other files are copied succesfully and it puzzle me.
