Thread: USB mount problem / READ only mode

hi all,

i've got following problem: when mount usb hard drive "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/my_folder" usb mount in "read only" mode. how can make run full permitions?

additonal info:
run xubuntu 12.10 awesome wm;
problem exists when use console, can mount drive thunar;
problem exists fat32 flash drives (but not external ntfs hdd);
problem independent of window manager, i.e. exist when use awesome , when switch xfwm;
noticed /media dir read ordinary (not sudo) user - should way? why ok hdd?

think there's nothing wrong usb drives, formatted them gparted (and work thunar).

appreciated.
best regards,
morswin

automount @ plug-in or file browser , check entry in /etc/mtab. can use options in manual mount operation (unmount, mount).

did sdd2 (while leaving sdd1 automounted)

code:

sudo mount/dev/sdd2 -t auto -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks /mnt

and got result

code:

/dev/sdd1 /media/usb-data vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks 0 0            /dev/sdd2 /mnt vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks 0 0
