I'm having trouble mounting my neuros (just a mp3 player that mounts as a mass-storage for those of you who don't know). It gives me the error of it being read only. I've tried all the stuff in other posts.

I have MSI K8N Neo Platinum with an SATA drive, so that's sda and usb is sdb. I can successfully mount it, however I have no write access.

Here is my /etc/fstab

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/fstab,v 1.14 2003/10/13 20:03:38 azarah Exp $
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>                  <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda1               /mnt/winxp      ntfs            defaults,umask=000              0 0
/dev/sda2               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/sda4               /               reiserfs        noatime                 0 0
/dev/sda3               none            swap            sw                      0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro               0 0
#/dev/sdb1              /mnt/usb        vfat            noauto,user,exec                0 0
/dev/sdb1               /mnt/usb        vfat            defaults              0 0
#/dev/fd0               /mnt/floppy     auto            noauto                  0 0

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none                    /proc           proc            defaults                0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0


I have usb support in my kernel and vfat as a module. If you think my kernel config would help, just let me know.
Cheers,
James

If you are using a fairly recent kernel, you will have to make your /etc/fstab entry look like the one below. Also make sure you have "codepage 437" and "NLS ISO 8859-1" directly enabled (not modules) in your running kernel.

Code:
/dev/usbhd1 /mnt/pendrive   vfat            noauto,users,rw,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

yeah, thanks, i figured it out a while back. it was the iocharset and the codepage that were the problem.

Cheers
