I recently saw that my 2GB SanDisk microSD card was mounting as read-only filesystem on my linux (Ubuntu 10.10). I tried changing its property through nautilus, but it went in vain.
Also I tried manually editing /etc/mtab file where I edited “ro” option to “rw”, but when the flash-drive was again inserted, it was mounted as read-only.
Can anyone tell me how I can remove this write-protect property of this filesystem to read-write in linux?
Answer
Full sized SD cards have a write protect switch.
I do not have a microSD card here to see if they also have one. But it is worth checking. If you are using a microSD to SD convertor then also check that.
