Salve a tutti. Read-only file system
« on: December 18, 2005, 08:33:19 PM »
Hallo everybody!

Recently I moved to Linux and I'm not really used to it nor to aMule yet...

This is my problem: when I try to download something, the downloaded files are marked with the status of "fermo" (="stopped") or "in completamento (="completing"). When I close aMule and then open it, the recently downloaded portions are not present: they have not been saved.

This error message appears:

CFile: Error when opening file (blablabla): Read-only file system

Does anybody have any idea of what's the problem?

Thanks a lot to all those who'll try to help.  :baby:

where do you try to store the files?
if its on an ntfs file system you cannot write to it....

No, it shouldn't be this the problem: when I made the partition on my hard disk, I paid attention not to format it in ntfs, but FAT32. I think this should allow me to use both Windows and Linux to write on the HDD, right?

yes, your right:

# mount | grep enkey
/dev/hdb1 on /enkey type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=111,uid=1000,gid=1000,user=morph)

it's my disk for amule. First was for emule under win.

check your fstab entries taht you really mount the partition rw,
and maybe add some options like the once morph has, but adjust them to your user/system or course...

you can also always try with the root user first....

touch some_file_name

shoudl tell ya if its just a user specific thing, or the whole partition is stil r/o

Sorry guys, but I'm a true beginner with Linux and aMule, so I do not have any idea of how to do what you tell me.connection, I mean,  I understand the distincion between terminal and root terminal, but that's all. I don't know how to write commands...  :(

Btw, I've checked what I was able to check (little thing actually), and I think the HDD partition I'm trying to use is rw. Mind that when aMule download stuff, I hear the HDD writing stuff. The prbl is that I don't get anything completed.

Anyway thanks all
