I am connecting an external drive from Intenso to my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Both in Nautilus and on the command line I am not allowed to write/delete/change files and folders. For instance, mkdir says: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘test’: Read-only file system

I tried the accepted answer from this question: external hard disk READ ONLY However, then I can e.g. create files for a few minutes. Afterwards the drive appears read-only again.

Any idea how to overcome this?

  • More info is needed: File system? If NTFS you may have to use the Windows native error correction tools. –  Oct 03 '17 at 16:18
  • Ubuntu says the file system is "msdos". I suppose it is NTFS. – Emdee Oct 04 '17 at 14:54
