It also looks like the error is saying that /media/jjj is read-only at this point, and unless I'm reading the mount output from the previous email correctly, this would be /dev/sdb1. If this is the case, there may be errors on that partition and the filesystem was remounted read only. What happens if you manually execute "mkdir /media/jjj/test" or "mkdir /tmp/test"? The only way that I know to clear a read only filesystem is to remount it (if permitted), or to reboot with a manual fsck on the problem partition. dafr _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
