[opensuse] USB stick is not writeable after playing content on smart TV
Hi all, My problem is shown in the subject. I just wanted to try whether our not too young, not too smart TV can play mkv files. So I copied two videos on a 8G FAT 32 USB stick. The TV could play both files, with sound. I waned to add some more files from my laptop, but the drive is not writeable any more. Not as superuser. I see the content and can play the two video files on the laptop. I noticed that a new directory, called DVR was created. What can I do besides reformatting? Thanks, Albert

Maybe that is the problem: (after ls -l) d????????? ? ? ? ? ? System Volume Information I can only add one more question marks

Some kind of corruption. Drive needs repair, meanwhile Linux mounts read only, perhaps. fsck while not mounted. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The USB is formatted in FAT32 so fsck won't repair it. Will need to use chkdsk in Windows. BC -- "Truth isn't truth." Rudy Guiliani, Donald Trump's lawyer, 20 August 2018 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, checking and repairing the drive in a Win7 virtualbox made the USB stick writeable again. Possibly I should learn how to unmount it from the TV. Albert

Just learnt that it IS possible to use fsck to repair a FAT file system -- see here: https://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck.vfat and am glad that you were able to get the USB stick writeable again.

Ah, no, fsck can repair fat disks fine. What is problematic is ntfs. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
