Operating Systems Linux Fedora Read only disks on Linux system Post 302391716 by pludi on Tuesday 2nd of February 2010 09:28:32 AM

If the disk has I/O errors, shouldn't you be more concerned with repairing/recovering that, instead of doing a (possibly dangerous) write operation?

But if you really want to go through with it:
Code:
mount -oremount,rw /path/to/disk

should mount the device in read/write mode. However, should you lose data due to that, neither I nor the UNIX and Linux Forums can be held liable.

mmount(1)						      General Commands Manual							 mmount(1)

Name
       mmount - mount an MSDOS disk

Note of warning
       This  manpage  has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
       end of this man page for details.

Description
       The mmount command is used to mount an MS-DOS disk. It is only available on Linux, as it is only useful if the OS kernel allows to  config-
       ure the disk geometry. Its syntax is:

       mmount msdosdrive [mountargs]

       Mmount  reads  the  boot  sector of an MS-DOS disk, configures the drive geometry, and finally mounts it passing mountargs to mount.  If no
       mount arguments are specified, the name of the device is used. If the disk is write protected, it is automatically mounted read only.

Viewing the texi doc
       This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process is only  approximative,  and  some
       items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.  Indeed, these items have no appropriate repre-
       sentation in the manpage format.  Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly  advise  you
       to use the original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

		     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,	run:

		     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

		     ./configure; make info

       The  texinfo  doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
       quoting conventions used in info.
