Re: usbstick, pmount and unison problem

KDE automounting of usbstick was not allowing me to copy files to usbstick. Surprising it allows one file to be copied. next file it says stick is readonly file system. To avoid that, I stopped kde from mounting it. I did
pmount -w -s -u022 /dev/sda1 pendrive
It allowed me to write to the pendrive
But when I tried with unison for file sync, I get error saying pendrive is readonly file system?
Any solutions?

The first thing that comes to mind is a filesystem error. If the kernel encounters some error while writing to the drive, it may be switching the mount from read+write to read-only. You might check your system log files for any error messages regarding /dev/sda1, and try fsck'ing /dev/sda1 while it's unmounted.
