USB drive read-only
Hello
I have a USB Universal Smart Drive (32MB) and when Knoppix detects it, the mounted partition becomes read-only.
Why is this, any ideas?
Any information I should post (lbusb?)?
Thanks

Add the following line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat defaults,users,noauto,umask=000 0 0
Then reboot (you don't actually have to reboot, but I forget the command, you might try "mount -a" instead of rebooting).
Now:
mkdir /mnt/sda1
Plug in your USB drive and type:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
and it should be writable. Hope what I said is correct.

Well, it worked! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
(I didn't have to reboot / type mount, though, just so you know.)

Great, glad that it worked. Remember to type:
umount /dev/sda1
before removing it.
