I can't format a USB drive, it says "read only filesystem". I tried mkfs.vfat, wipefs -a, using gparted but nothing worked, always returns "Read-only filesystem". The problem seems to be caused by an HFS+ partition. It seems like even root is not allowed to write on the drive: I tried every terminal command with root privileges an it keeps returning "failed to open for writing: Read-only file system". I'm running Ubuntu 18.10. Anyone can help? Thanks
