I am working in linux Mint and the player no longer mounts automatically. When I do mount it, it mounts as read only, which means I can no longer copy files to it. fdisk and df show
cinelli@asus-mint:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc

cinelli@asus-mint:~$ touch /media/cinelli/AGPTEK-U3/t.t
touch: cannot touch '/media/cinelli/AGPTEK-U3/t.t': Read-only file system
The odd thing is that it has no partitions, unlike any other memory stick I have. So it mounts as /dev/sdc, not /dev/sdc1. Note the disk identifier is zero. I have never changed the partitioning and I wonder now how it has ever worked. Has anyone ever seen a device like this? I could reformat it but the question is, would this make it completely unusable? Thanks.
