I have tested this on ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS and Ubuntu 10.10.
Mount the device as "ro".
mount | grep DEVICE
/dev/DEVICE on /MOUNTPOINT type fuseblk
(ro,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
With "-t" mount gives back a good error why this does not work.
mount -t ntfs-3g -o remount,rw /dev/disk/by-uuid/DEVICE /MOUNTPOINT
Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then
mount it once again.
Without "-t" mount just does it. The device is listed as "rw", but its not
possible to write on the device.
mount -o remount,rw /dev/DEVICE
mount | grep DEVICE
/dev/DEVICE on /MOUNTPOINT type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
touch /MOUNTPOINT/testfile
touch: cannot touch `/MOUNTPOINT/testfile': No such file or directory
It would be nice if the remount error message ("Remounting is not supported
...") comes up always. Would have saved me lot of time for searching.
But it would be even nicer if the remount works.
