USB Drive sometimes auto mounts as read-only

[Anna EdwARds]

I would actually do it as ext3 (2 gb or more) or ext2 (otherwise)

| My USB Drive sometimes auto mounts as a read-only file system on Ubuntu 7.10 i386 desktop.
|  This does not happen frequently, but when it does, it means I can't update any files on the drive.
|  How do I switch it to a read-write file system?  Is there something I can do to keep it
| from being mounted as read-only?

| I have tried unmounting it and inserting it into another USB port, with the same results.
|  I am going to reboot my desktop  to see if I can |  resolve this issue. If that fails, I
| intend to copy all the files off the USB drive, format it (as FAT32), and then restore the files.

The reboot did not resolve the issue.  Next, I will try copying the files from the USB drive,
reformat it, and then put the files back on.
