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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Physics is like sex ... it may give some practical results, but - - that's not why we do it. -- Richard Feynman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
