Fedora 14, x86_64 on Thinkpad T61. About six months ago I bought a Transcend 32 GB SD card for my (then) new Android phone. Foolishly I bought the mini size, not the micro size. Before returning it I tried it in my laptop, only to discover that it mounted read-only. I tried various things (now forgotten), but failed to get it to mount read-write. Since it was the wrong size for the phone I returned it to Amazon.
Then I bought a Transcend 32 GB micro SD card that came with an adapter. Again, I tried to mount it in the laptop, but it also mounted read-only. But when I put it in the phone I had no problems - Android happily mounted it read-write. I continue to use it in the phone. The other day I found a deal on a Sandisk 32 GB micro SD card, so I bought it. Like the Transcend, it came with an adapter. My plan was to use it as additional storage on the laptop. However, like its predecessors, it mounts read-only. Here is some command line information: $dmesg |tail [51144.370076] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SU32G 29.7 GiB (ro) [51144.370190] mmcblk0: p1 $ mount /dev/mapper/vg_devil8-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/jjj/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=jjj) /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/D198-2DA6 type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush) I suspect I need to add it to fstab and specify somehow that it is to be mounted read-write. In the process, I'd like to name it something other than mmcblk0p1. I read man fstab, but couldn't figure out exactly how to do this. Or maybe fstab is not the way to fix the problem.
