usb drives mounted RO

Post by hairybiker »

Mint 17.1 64bit

Sometimes when I boot, my usb drives are mounted as ro as a normal user.
su can r/w to them and they are mounted rw according to mount.

A reboot usually fixes this but is a PITA when you just want to copy something to a usb quickly.

hairybiker I always right click and eject my usb before I reboot or take them out . Not sure this is still in effect but was always told to eject them before rebooting or just taking them out.

Could corrupt them was what I was told.
