Thunar automounts in read-only mode

Hello,

I have configured thunar for automatically mounting removable media following the wiki. It works, but the media is mounted read-only. How can I configure thunar to mount media in read-write mode?

Thanks in advance

Re: Thunar automounts in read-only mode

I believe part of the problem you might be experiencing is that there is no read-write compatibility for the file system on your media in question. For example, you can mount HFS+ journaled with read capabilities, but you can't write to it without disabling the journaling. 

Check the file system of your removable media. Maybe we could rule out the fs being the issue.

The file system is FAT32, so this is not a problem. Manually remounting the media with read-write works fine.

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /run/media/user/1D15-3959
$ touch /run/media/user/1D15-3959/testfile
