    QuadZero - 2023-02-09

    Hi

    Read a few topics on the "read only" issue when mounting an external USB3 drive onto my system. I tested it on two separate systems:

    Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and
    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

    Both mounts the external drive as ro.

    This is the output from properties after the drive is mounted:

    Read-Only No

    Quite frustrating that I cannot write anything to the disk. Could you please help?

    You should mention the file system in use, if it's damaged, and if regular USB drives with the same file system actually work with your system.

    I assume that the file system of the volume might be damaged, and your system refuses to write to it to prevent further damaging the file system.

    Additionally, do you use the latest version? Knowing this might be an important detail for the developer.

    The process to repair a file system is specific to the file system in use. Proprietary file systems may not be reparabel using Linux. You should research this depending on your needs.
