Thank you. I will investigate and provide syslog data for the old read- only sticks and the new writable ones when I get the chance. Of the old USB sticks -- the ones that turned read-only -- I currently am in possession of only one, and it worked fine this morning if I am root when I mount it and write it. It's labelled Lexar USB3.0 64G. I haven't tried it on my wife's Mac since. If I have to be root, perhaps it's some mount permission problem I'm getting. Of course it could be that I missed this one stick when I was trying the old failing sticks last week and it's been OK all along. Im going to have to keep careful records. The others I handed to a friend a few days ago, who said he wanted to try them out on his equipment. I'll see them again next Wednesdays. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
