Fedora 18 / kde
My Flash Drive has somehow been change to "Read Only" and I cannot
delete files from it.
The drive is at /run/media/mickey/0A73-237A and the owner is user
mickey:mickey in /mickey/0A73-237A the files on this drive are at;
-rw-r--r--. 1 mickey mickey 967 Aug 23 16:15 yumex
-rw-r--r--. 1 mickey mickey 5107 Aug 5 10:55 yum-update
Everytime I try to "rm yumex" I get a ReadOnly file system
How do I change this ??
Check the mountpoint and verify it's got the right ownerships and
permissions:
ls -ld /run/media/mickey/0A73-237A
If it's correct, you could try remounting it RW:
mount -o remount,rw /run/media/mickey/0A73-237A
If that works, then just why it became RO is a question. Is it an old
FLASH drive that may be on its last legs? Remember that FLASH drives
have a limited number of write cycles.
