I am trying to delete music files from mmc2 but I get "unable to delete "filename": read only file system.

How can that be since I put the files there to start with.

cat /etc/fstab
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1 vfat rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999 0 0

Why doesn't mmc2 show up in /etc/fstab?

cat /etc/mtab
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root /mnt/initfs jffs2 ro 0 0
none /mnt/initfs/proc proc rw 0 0
none /mnt/initfs/sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /mnt/initfs/tmp tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/mtdblock4 / jffs2 rw,rpsize=1024,rpuid=0,rpuid=30000 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 vfat ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=29999,fmask=0133,dmask= 0000,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8 0 0

Why is /dev/mmcblk0p1 mounted on both /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2?

How do I change the read/write permissions on mmc2?

Open Control panel/Memory/ under storage click on your card and make sure it read only is not checked.

Also make sure that the card itself the lock is not enabled.

I can't answer any of your questions directly, but have you tried doing it with emelFM2 instead of command line? It's not like you're talking about deep system stuff, they're just music files.

Have you check for and corrected the corruption bug?

isn't the corruption bug a format issue with mmc1 only unless you somehow don't format mmc2 correctly.

On my eee pc, I had a 1 gig SD and it kept on turning into write only after I tried to delete something. I tried to format it as ext2, ext3, fat16, and fat32 to no avail. After I tried to put the eeeXubuntu installer on it because I had a different linux distro on it and I didn't have an optical drive on it so i hooked it up to a card reader that I know works because my friend uses it a lot to put files on his blackberry, and when I tried to boot the live flash it was having read errors. So enough said it could be a similar issue, thus you might want to try getting a new mmc.

PS does it become read only after you try to delete something?
