Hard drive and SSD becomes read-only!

alawi3d

hi guys
before posting this i saw that there is similar case but was marked as solved so i didn't wanted to add up to that post
https://discuss.getsol.us/d/227-hard-drive-becomes-a-read-only-file-system

I'm having trouble with creating files and folders into my drives (D: SSD and E:HDD)
so i ran grep 'ro,' /etc/mtab and here is my result:


tmpfs /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=755 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/6171A83334C4B582 fuseblk ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/8C4C97994C977D20 fuseblk ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

so i tried what @rockycse21 suggestion from above post cause i have dual boot
which is uncheck “Turn on fast startup" in Windows and it solved my read-only issue ,
only that it lead me to another issue which is my wired network goes into loop connecting again
so I checked that back , so i either have internet but loosing the ability to create folders or files
on those storage drives or loosing internet and not be able to customize in those drives.

is there a way to unmount and remount my storage with rw or a way to rest my network pci
from terminal ?

guys i'm writing this cause i'm losing hope into solving this problem and if there is no solution then should i ditch Linux as whole until i get second PC for Linux only to be able to use it properly ? or deleting my 8 years old Windows OS for the sake that everything work on Linux?

If operating systems are on different drives, as you indicate, can it still be a true dual boot?
And if it is configured as a dual boot, can't you just end the whole problem in bios with the boot order?
Nobody talks to each other, nobody over-writes anyone, no one dominates anyone?
I always found keeping Solus and Windows far away from each other was best policy.

So you have D: WIN and E: solus. What are these other storage drives you mention? Could they be part of the conflict?

That empties out my minimal knowledge! Good luck.

brent Windows and Solus are on same drive which is C: and the problem i'm facing
is with D and E drive and Network problem either my drives become read-only when "turn on fast startup" is checkd
or my wired network will be on connecting loop when "turn on fast startup" unchecked on Windows.

is there a way to do that in bios with boot order that these two systems never talks to each other ?
can you kindly teach me how to do that or direct me to where i can get that info ?
thanks for replying

OK, I'm in over my head now, and hope to defer to anyone else. I didn't read you right.
If you power on the OS of your choice, and multiple storage devices are auto-mounted or manually mounted, I can see where there would be ownership problems.

I have a USB that I use on W10 at work and on Solus at home. Truly cross-platform.
But I haven't had that luck with every USB drive.

I hate to say it but write-protection hell is something we all go through intensely at some point. It's unbeatable sometimes in my novice experience.

Reformat all your storage devices after moving your files temporarily? You diagnosed the storages as the problem.
Hang in there. Somebody knows what to do.

edit: clarity I hope

brent thanks for your reply, yah i think it got to do with Windows messing things up for Solus,
take my wired network issue for instant when i had the problem it was because i never shut down my PC and even if i shut it down i would log in to Windows first then switch to Solus, which is why i had connecting loop where my PC can't connect to my router, then it turns out that after logging out from windows my PCI wouldn't rest that's why it couldn't connect when i'm in Solus. so my options was either to shut my PC down then switch it on straight to Solus
or write PCI rest command line on terminal to solve the connection problem.

but I kept looking for PCI rest command line here didn't find one and other commands won't work on Solus
so whenever i want to switch between windows and Solus i would shut down my PC first, so it was working fine
for me.

until this " read-only" hit me which solving this problem would effect my network problem for some reason
that's why i kept looking for command lines to either "resting PCI slot" or unmount and remount comman lines for storage drive that i think having those would solve this problem especially the network.

ill probably wait until i could buy 6TB HDD and move everything to it reformatting all my drives and reinstall window and solus on an empty drive .

Fast boot is not normally recommended for any kind of Linux, it should always be disabled.
I'm not sure why that would effect your network in Windows.

normnod yah i don't know why uncheck fast boot would effect my network connection and goes to connecting loop and even shutting down my PC or completely switching off power supply and switching them on again
and straight to solus won't fix my network problem 😕 but the opposite if i leave it checked
