Hi Chris, NTFS is probably your real issue. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/142649-solved-editing-fstab-al... might contain the answer to your problem if you keep using NTFS. This also looks relevant for you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-do-i-correctly-mount-a-ntfs-partit... Please keep in mind that this is a distribution agnostic issue you're dealing with.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking at dmesg logs but wasn't anticipating seeing drive errors.
But will check again tonight.
I forgot to add that the drive is formatted NTFS too.
Cheers,
Chris

The drive going read only suggests to me that it may not be read properly by the system, or any even be broken. Check dmesg for any related messages? On Aug 13, 2012 10:10 AM, "mailinglist" wrote:
Hello all,
I've got a mythtv set up on a pc. It got a 40G drive which I'm finding a bit limiting.
I figured I'd just plug in an external USB drive, have it mount on boot up, and configure mythtv to use a directory on it as part of its storage area.
Well, its becoming a frustrating exercise. As a user logged in, I can hotplug it and read and write to but anything else either doesn't work or will only ever mount the drive read only.
I've tried 1) editing fstab (result read only despite specifying rw) 2) pydsm (result read only despite specifying rw) 3) Some scripts using udev rules. (can't find the drive)
The system used lightdm as the window manager and Thunar is available as a GUI file manager. Underlying system is Mythbuntu updated to Precise Penguin
Any clues? Or scripts known to work?
Cheers,
Chris
