Hello all,
I'm new to Arch Linux and trying to migrate all my works to arch. Installed KDE, GNOME3, and hardware drivers successfully But I have problems with USB flash disks. When plugging a usb device, system mounts it as a readonly filesystem. so I can't change its contents. It always happens to my flash disk, but flash disk of my friend is ok!
I tried to mount manually with super user access, but no hope. It says:
[root@myhost soroush]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
mount: warning: /mnt/ seems to be mounted read-only.

Try creating a new directory in /mnt/ and mount it to that instead.

Nope
[root@myhost soroush]# mkdir /mnt/test
[root@myhost soroush]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test/

Maybe you can post your /etc/fstab?

What filesystem is it? NTFS needs ntfs-3g package for write support.

I tried ntfs and ext4 filesystems with partition table of both BSD and DOS format.

Thanks!
Installing ntfs-3g package solved problem. It's funny! my flash disk is an ext4 filesystem....

Now I've seen everything.
I hope there's a logical explanation for this.

The flash device is fat32 is one solution............

I formatted again via GParted. It's ext4. Windows 7 can't recognize it and asks me to format it.
Without ntfs-3g I can't write anything to my flash!

It obviously isn't fully established as ext4 but contains an element for windows 7 which requires ntfs-3g to be recognized.
Some flash devices cannot be used in linux being fixed into ntfs for windows only AFAICT.

Wanna say Thanks, was searching for solving this problem nearly 3 hours now.
Ridicoulus how the ntfs is making problems with rights every time. Would be a n1 idea to format my storage into ext4.
