Note that dosfsck has a *nasty nasty* user interface issue where it asks you about repairing changes and pretends that it is repairing changes, while actually not changing anything on disk (or SD card). You need to pass a special command line option to dosfsck to get it to repair stuff. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dosfstools/+bug/205206 Marius Gedminas -- The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything.

Re: Internal memory card is read-only
Keywan my internal memory card is read only, but in the Memory-Settings (from Control panel) the checkbox isn't activated. I tried to restart the device, but after reboot it's still read-only. I can remount it to read-write, but after one action it's read-only again. Any idea? the filesystem is corrupt. Some time ago I struggled with this and found the easiest solution was to back up and reformat the card rather than try to repair the fs. -- Brad Midgley ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
