It's easy to corrupt by: - unplugging the USB cable without using "safely remove" - taking the card out while it's being written to - device freeze/reboot (no reproducible cases known currently) when some data is only partly written to the card Linux kernel remounts disk (in this case memory card) as read-only when it notices that it's corrupted. This is done to protect it from further corruption. You can resolve this by repairing the file system. Device file manager has a utility for this, but there might not be enough memory to run that if your card is large and full, so I'd recommend doing it from the PC. I reformated the card, Reformatting works also, but loses all of the data on the card. > verified that was the problem and replaced the card. There's a good probability that the card itself was still fine. - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
