rm: cannot remove '<movie>': Read-only file system
 

Hi

I was copying movie to my n900 in storage mode under ubuntu. The process got stuck on 100%. I didn't have time so I just unpluged the cable (I know, it's wrong).

Now I have my movie in the /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/ and I am unable to remove it.

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs/.videos/MOVIEi# ls -al
drwxrwxrwx 2 user root 65536 Aug 2 19:41 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 user root 65536 Aug 2 19:41 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 user root 1472604198 Aug 2 19:42 MOVIE.avi

Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs/.videos/MOVIE# rm -rf MOVIE.avi
rm: cannot remove 'MOVIE.avi': Read-only file system

of course it's not readonly fs

1) any suggestions what to do?
2) It's nopt the first time it happened to me in Ubuntu. Anyone else have a problem with copying files?

Thanks

Happens quite often on N800 (different system but problem the same). The only sure way is to remove card and insert again to force remount.

With internal card you may need to restart device. Windowish solution but faster than playing with command line.

vvaz: Wow, thats a quick replay! The only problem is that .video is not on the external card. It's internal partition.

UPS! Now when I plug in the usb kayble and go in the storage mode I get:

Memory is read-only until fixed.
Try fixing memory with PC after plugging in USB cable. Create data backup first to save existing memory contents.

?!?!

EDIT: Ok, found in anothe thread
