[CoLoCo] A different mounting problem

This too is probably very simple, but I'm baffled.

I have a Cowon iAudio 7 player and it does mount when I plug it in.

The problem is that it mounts read-only. Even it I run:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdc /dev/I Audio7

it doesn't help. The mount command gives:

/dev/sdc on /media/I AUDIO7 type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)

But I can't copy any files to it:

cp: cannot create regular file `/media/I AUDIO7/MOVIE/mastering042.avi':
Read-only file system

no matter what user I try it as.

Any thoughts, hints, pointers?

9.10, 64bit.

This used to work as that's how I got the music on here a few months
back, but that was before the 9.10 upgrade (if that matters.)

Thanks for any info.

What is it formatted as? Is it in NTFS?

[David L. Willson]

I'll be it's 'vfat', from his original post. I don't think NTFS would even read if it were mounted as VFAT.

Does the device still work when attached to other Linux computers? Does a regular USB stick work when attached to this computer?

If you 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plug in the iAudio, what new lines appear?

Or for similar information, you could 'dmesg > /tmp/old-dmesg', plug in the drive, 'dmesg > /tmp/new-dmesg', then 'diff /tmp/old-dmesg /tmp/new-dmesg'.

Editing fstab fixed my drive mounting issue. Thanks all for the advice.

I'm still a little baffled, but it's working now.

Editing fstab and running mount -a would mount it, it looked correct,
but it didn't work.

After a reboot, however, it is working fine.

I am really not sure what the difference is in those two scenarios, but
as long as it's working it's OK - but if anyone can take a shot at
explaining it, I'd still like to know.

Thanks for your feedback and info.
