#Mac external drives read only install
I tried to install it using the following command:Į: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) I got a warning at one point that I was missing the command "uupdate" Besides, pysdm would never have helped, nor got over the issue that HFS+ journalled can only be mounted read-only in Linux. They all cause more problems than they solve, judging by threads that appear here. It is one of several unmaintained pieces of software that are intended to "help" with mounting partitions and devices.

I did download pySDM, but don't see how to invoke it, or otherwise open it. If you see folders and files in the file browser, the filesystem is mounted.) Try this with the external drive plugged in and automounted. If the drive is really formatted with non-journalled HFS+, then a slight variation on the command that matt_symes posted should help. You have to select non-journalled if that is what you want. Why unexpected? When you format a drive HFS+ in the MacOS Disk Utility, it defaults to the journalled version of HFS+. Let's put that discrepancy to one side for the time being. in your first post you told us about a "read-only" error message, which doesn't fit with the fact that your drive seems to be mounted read-write. This means that it is probably the non-journalled version of HFS+, so you *should* be able to chmod it from Ubuntu to sort out your permissions problems. Your sdb3 HFS+ partition has been mounted read-write - at least that is what mount is telling us. I've highlighted the unexpected bit in red. However, your output of "mount" reveals something interesting:

The MacOS filesystem HFS+, or rather the journalled version of HFS+, is mounted read only in Ubuntu. That's all goobledygook to me! I'm on my second week using Terminal (and it's starting to get fun, but WOW does it sometimes feel like trying to whistle in Sanskrit)!ĭue to corruption on large filesystems, the hfsplus module mounts all HFS+ drives as read-only by default.Ĭhipbuster is right. dev/sdb3 on /media/JPSBackupDrive1 type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) Gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/oem/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=oem) None on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)īinfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) None on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) None on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) None on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) None on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) None on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) None on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) None on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) None on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) None on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) Proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) Here's what "mount" returns (the section referencing my external drive is underlined by me): I don't see any change that's taken place in terms of permissions.Ĭoffeecat: Thanks for the reply. Some of the folders within JPSBackupDrive1 are still x'd out. Bash returns this: "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/JPSBackupDrive1': Read-only file system" See if the third party app developer has an updated app that works with your updated operating system.Matt, thanks for the suggestion. When you updated your Mac operating system it likely made the third party app no longer compatible. You likely have a third party app installed that allowed you to use the NTFS drive when booted into your Mac side. Your external drive is likely formatted NTFS for Windows. Your problem is different than that being discussed in this thread. Hopefully a simple fix for this issue will be found. I have my time Machine on another external drive and at this point I will not plug it into the MAC until I find a fix for this issue. This is some kind of glitch with High Sierra. The same external drive is read and write no problem from there.
#Mac external drives read only windows 7
I have Windows 7 running in Bootcamp on same MBP. I have not fixed it yet but what I did do to confirm it’s not an issue with the drive is, Showed up right after I upgraded to High Sierra.Įxternal drive that contains my IPhoto and IMovie library is now read only.
