You want to see permissions on a directory where you are trying
to write and not a block device. Not the same level.
If they look ok then maybe a selinux context prevents that
writing? If this is not the case then maybe something set
an unexpected attribute? Check 'man lsattr' and 'man chattr'.
Say something of that kind:
A file with the 'i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be deleted
or renamed, no link can be created to this file and no data can be
written to the file. Only the superuser or a process possessing the
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE capability can set or clear this attribute.
Filesystem troubles may cause a garbled inode and some unwanted
attributes set.
