Was looking at that the other day, but haven't tried it just yet... That could fix the problem when a partition is specifically mounted read-only (as in when running from a live image) but doesn't address the weird default behaviour where a mount point is only readable by root by default... it's certainly something worth looking at more closely though. -- Jeff Lane - Hardware Certification Engineer and Test Tools Developer Ubuntu Ham: W4KDH Freenode IRC: bladernr or bladernr_ gpg: 1024D/3A14B2DD 8C88 B076 0DD7 B404 1417 C466 4ABD 3635 3A14 B2DD -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912522 Title: usb_test fails on non-writable filesystems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/912522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
