I have an SD card on /dev/sde. The command "findmnt -l" does not show anything mounted on /dev/sde*'. I am the root user. "ls -l /dev/sde*" shows: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 64 Feb 1 13:43 /dev/sde brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 65 Feb 1 13:43 /dev/sde1 So apparently the device is writable. I checked the lock switch on the SD card which is unlocked. After that I want to write an image on the SD card using dd with of=/dev/sde, however I always get: dd: failed to open ‘/dev/sde’: Read-only file system I am using openSUSE 13.1, which is fully updated.
When I mount the SD card, which is mounted as a vfat device, I am also unable to write on the device.
<snip> Have you tried writing as root? This will definitely confirm whether it is writeable. Sudhir -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
