 |

Hello,
I've been experiencing one very annoying issue lately. When I try to delete something from any of my flash drives (pendrive, mp3 player) it says: "read-only file system" and nothing can be done. The other thing is that trash stopped working, but anyway... what makes it even more weird is that I can actually write on some of these devices! What's wrong? I'd like to be able to do anything with them.
My mtab entry for mp3 player for instance:
| Code: | /dev/sdc /media/SANSA\040FUZE vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush 0 0
|
What's even stranger I can do anything on my windows partition from gentoo...
Thank you! |

| The kernel has no concept of a trash directory. That is a construct or your desktop environment, which you did not identify. Please give the output of cat -n /proc/mounts when the device is misbehaving and the command you executed that produced unexpected results. Preferably, show us both a deletion that should have worked, but did not, and show us a modification that should have failed with "Read-only filesystem", but instead succeeded. |
