Sudo let-me-use-my-pendrive ?
What do I do if a usb drive decides to be read only?
In the gui I could use properties to fix this, but it needs superuser priveleges I think. Sudo let-me-use-my-pendrive ? Thanksfor any thoughts. (ps its not a hardware lock) |
Is it formated FAT32? You should have full access to a FAT32 USB drive, but NTFS would mount as read-only due to limitations in the kernel.

Its vfat format.
|
try
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdxx /media/<mountpoint> rw |
ok, but how do i know what the xx part will be?
|
Try something like:
Code:
dmesg | tail Code:
tj@T-Bird:~$ dmesg | tail |
If you want to see this "live", try:
Code:
tail -f /var/log/kern.log Code:
grep kern /etc/syslog.conf |
