Re: mount partition, but can't write

Are you sure its ext4? If a partition mounts by default to read-only it seems to scream 'ntfs' to me.

if i need to write in /etc/fstab, how?

1. check that it is ext4
2. if it is, man chmod and man chown

NOOO! Never chown entire partitions!
If you would have read the mount man page you would have seen how you can mount partitions as rw for users
Here's what I use for vfat (usb stick)

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb vfat users,exec,dev,suid 0 1

I'm guessing you just need to add ext4 instead of vfat and it should work. You can mount without sudo and it'll be rw
