    Breezy and USB drives

    Greetings,
    Whenever I pop in the usb drive, Breezy will not let me write anything to it an claims "cannot create regular file "" Read-only file system: ". Now I double checked my format and the USB drive is FAT32. When I sudo, I get the same problem. Any ideas???

    Well, to state the obvious, you could make sure you don't have the write protect thingy set on the drive.

    Are you trying to write to the device as root or a user? Have you tried doing it as root? Sometimes mounting gives different rights to root than non-root accounts.
