[sf-lug] Drive Access issues

[Blake Haggerty]

I believe that the drive is still a FAT/NTFS (not 100% positive I have allot of drives laying around and mess with them all the time) I think I left this drive alone though from a previous windows install... Is there anyway to tell for sure?

 

Best Regards,

Do you mean that it still holds Windows and is a FAT/NTFS filesystem, or 
is it now a Linux native filesystem (ext2/3, etc.)? Try mount -l and 
that should tell you about mounted filesystems. My guess is (if it's the 
latter case) it's mounted it as read-only - either because it's 
specified that way in /etc/fstab or because the OS has detected some 
kind of corruption on the disk and has switched it to read-only - 
check /var/log/messages for this... 

Thanks, Tom
