Question about mounting a filesystem

[Christopher Houdeshell]

Sorry – I read your email wrong. I thought you meant user couldn’t not write, not system….Anyhow, 

                `sudo umount /mnt/sda5`

                `mount –t auto –o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5`

Easiest way without getting involved with unmounting and mounting with the right permissions – `sudo chmod –R 777 /mnt/{USB DRIVE} & sudo chown –R {User} /mnt/{USB DRIVE}`

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. So the system has assigned sda5 as the drive name for the USB drive now. So I did a sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/sda5 and then an sudo chown -R root /mnt/sda5. It went through every file on the drive but did not change the filesystem from Read Only. I'm not even sure I own it now (I probably don't since read only would probably prevent the system from reassigning owner). 

What else can I do?

Thanks,.
Anthony
