Hello
After Installing Arch (from USB 16 GB, ADATA C103, USB 3.0) I cannot use my USB stick -
1) first when I tried to write on Windows I saw that the size of the USB is only 30 MB
2) I solved the first, but now I cannot mount with RW
the usb stick is /dev/sdb
sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt
Output: mount: /dev/sdb is write-protected, mounting read-only
What can I do ???
Edit: Tnx to all I made a new partition and evrything is Ok now. Tnx

Are you sure that /dev/sdb is the pendrive?
Have you tried mounting /dev/sdb1 instead?

Any chance that the file system is NTFS? Is it possible you have not installed ntfs-3g?

You might be looking at a second partition on the USB drive, e.g. I had a USB pendrive which had a small 2nd, *read-only* partition, that held some Windows-related drivers.

Does nobody read OP anymore? USB had the Arch installer on it, which involves some non-standard partitioning.
@radoslav192
Manually re-partition your thumb drive with fdisk, etc., then format the partition.
Edit: had to remove the log from my eye.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
