    suggests you do have write access but maybe something odd about this new project
  • s
    The directory is
  • s
    /media/daisy/SSD2/
  • s
    And then the project directory
  • s
    Huh, strange, i'm now getting this error on other projects too
  • s
    Did i lose write access all of sudden or something
  • a
    possibly
  • a
    or you may have been running as super user before
  • s
    I wasn't
  • a
    what linux distribution?
  • s
    Pop OS
  • a
    I'd expect external drives to "just work" with that
  • a
    but clearly something is up
  • s
    They did
  • a
    disks can be (re)mounted in read only mode if something goes wrong
  • s
    But they don't anymore, for some reason
  • s
    Oop, yeah, the drive is read only
  • s
    I tried to run touch and it gave me an error saying it's read only
  • a
    is the external drive normally used under windows?
  • a
    e.g. with ntfs/fat32
  • s
    I use it with windows yea
  • s
    But not sure if it is ntfs or fat32
  • a
    probably ntfs in this day and age
  • a
    and if you used it on windows recently then it might be left in a state where linux won't write to it
  • s
    Huh..
  • a
    similar issue
  • a
    Copy code
    'ntfs mounting read only' is a Common question in the support subs. Likely reasons..

    filesystem is corrupted.

    Filesystem is in a hibernate or suspended state.

    windows fast boot, or swap is messing things up.
  • a
    worth turning off fast boot for a dual boot system
  • s
    well yeah, i did try to set up dual boot but i ended up running up some trouble with systemd
  • a
    from here > the Windows-level Fast Startup feature will typically prevent you from mounting the Windows partitions in Linux, since it acts basically the same as hibernating the Windows OS: Linux sees that Windows has not cleanly unmounted the Windows partitions and so some cached data might held in the hibernation data, waiting to be written to its final place in the Windows filesystem
