Fedora :: Cannot Create Regular File Read Only File System?
Jun 16, 2009
All my torrents go to my home/username/Download/ folder, I could read/write yesterday but now I cant even copy the files to a flash drive.The error i get is "Cannot create regular file '/home/username/Download/file' : Read only file system.
I plugged in my USb drive into my computer yesterday and tried to delete a folder. I was unable to do so and got the following message
Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately? The file "my file" cannot be moved to the trash. Show Details Unable to create trashing info file: Read-only file system
So when I click on delete I get another error message:
Error while deleting. There was an error deleting Case Study Database. Show Details Error removing file: Read-only file system
At this point I can only click on Skip, Skip All, or Cancel.
I have not changed anything on the stick recently so I dont know what is causing the problem.
I bought a new SD card which I intend to put some MP3s on - except that I can't write to it because it tells me the destination is Read Only. No-probs thinks I: I'll just reformat it.
"Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/mmcblk0p1: Read-only file system"
Various chmod commands all result in Read-only file system. I tried umount then mount commands, but it couldn't find it to mount once I'd unmounted it using the same /media/ file path (I assume it's the only one).
My Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 with 6x partitions (/, /boot,/home, /usr, /var, /tmp) of 6.0 GB IDE Hardisk was working quite fine. I decided to create LVM on /home and /var partitions but due to some errors occured and I delete the /home partitions. That's why partition table altered. I then delete 4,5,and 6th partitions (/home, /var, /tmp) partitions and now try to create one by one but following error is coming:-

Have just assembled a new computer and thought I would install the 64 bit version of openSUSE 11.2 in a "Windows free zone". After a hiccup or two I have managed to get a system of sorts running but on trying to copy files from my old computer(via a memory stick) it tells me that Vfat is an unknown file system.On my old computer I am running 32 bit openSUSE 11.2 as a dual boot system with Windows XP and have no problems moving files between the two different file systems.Is it possible to get a 64 bit file system to read 32 bit file system drives and if so how do I do it?
I'm using my AntiX M8 Live CD to repair a hosed Windows installation, I downloaded ComboFix to ~/home/Desktop and now I'm trying to copy (cp) the file to /mnt/ where I have already mounted the NTFS Windows partition. NTFS3G is integrated into AntiX, right? So why am I having permissions errors?
Code:
mepis1:/home/demo# cp -v Desktop/ComboFix.exe /mnt/SwSetup/ `Desktop/ComboFix.exe' -> `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe' cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/SwSetup/ComboFix.exe': Permission denied mepis1:/home/demo# So far, I can read it without any errors in Terminal and navigate through the whole filesystem in ROX-Filer, Do I need to edit /etc/fstab to be able to write to an ntfs drive?
i installed Slackware 13.1 64 bits in a asus laptop and until now everything is running ok. But when i tried to mount a usb pendrive, i just can mount it as root;well, i thought there would be no problem, i will change permissions with chmod and everyone could access, read and write on it the command :
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/kingston
and making ls -l the result is :
drwx------ 1 root root 12288 Dec 8 17:20 kingston
so next i wrote (as root):
chmod 777 -R kingston
and the message was "Operation not supported" i tried also changing the ownership permission :
so, apparently i would have total access to the kingston directory; the problem is when i try to copy something to the kingston dir, an error msg. appears :
Can windows read files from a home file server with an ext4 file system? or do I have to partition the drive with the server (ext4) and an ntfs partition with the files on?
I am interested in making the root file system is read-only. I've moved /var and /tmp file systems to another partitions. There are two files in the /etc directory that need to be writable.
These are:
I've moved this files to /var and linked it. I've added command to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:
That's it. Are there other solutions to make the root file system is read-only?

I have decided that my partition table does not meet my needs Barrymore, and I want to shrink the "/" partition by 80GB, and then create another file system on that space. I did some research on-line, and I'm not sure which way is the easiest and more secure way to perform the change with out putting the "/" file system on risk.
Was struggling with this for a little, no really clear answers around.Anyways, edit /etc/mstab, kill the entire line with the faulty drive.Unplug the drive/usb, restart, then do a
Code: sudo fsck -r /dev/whatever umount it, then remount and it should be fixed

I insert a certain cdrom into my DVD drive, the cd is mounted meaning I do can see the cd rom icon on my desktop. The cd rom icon name is the correct label of the cdrom but when I try to open the cdrom it results to be empty.

How can I read the content of the cdrom with ubuntu 9.10?
